That isn't true. Investors will simply move their capital over to other things with better returns. So restaurants will simply close down if they aren't worth running and no one is going to fund them.

> Equally if that’s not possible, the company should fold. We shouldn’t prop up companies with cheap labor, that’s just forcing the poorest in society to provide corporate well fare, and basically the same excuse that was given for preventing the abolishment of slavery.

That is the likely result. Or the companies will invest in automation to make (automated) labor costs predictable. More likely, services that are easier to automate will survive while those that aren't will not.
I agree with the overall sentiment Lisp is somewhat cult-like. However, I find the author's rhetoric exhausting, especially considering it just boils down to: "Lisp has too much programmatic chaos for me and I think it's constituent arbiters are zealots."

edit: clarified I was talking about the author, not Lisp programmers.

My understanding is that late term abortions are almost always cases of extreme tragedy already.
The fuel is deuterium, lithium, and a smaller amount of beryllium or lead used as a neutron multiplier to assure a net positive tritium production. Yes, tritium is needed to start the reactor, but it can be replenished with lithium tritium breeding in the blanket.

Deuterium is plentiful in tap water.
Thanks, I had a play with this and submitted a PR to add some configuration options to the CRD.

It seemed decent but I hit two problems:

1. I didn't manage to get autoscaling to work - I suspect my helm templates might have been incorrect.

2. Docker-in-Docker (DIND) I know works, but one of the clients I'm working with has switched to containerd and the controller got a little confused by Docker-in-Containerd (DINC - you heard it here first!), I know really they should be using Kaniko/Buildah etc... but their devs aren't ready to make the change yet.
Well he did qualify the reasons he provided as being only 0.1%. So obviously there are 99.9% more reasons.

But then here you come with the ~93% of reasons that boil down to convenience. It's more convenient to murder this baby than to not murder it so murder it is.

There is a very important and overlooked 7% of abortions that are medically related that save the whole concept of legal abortion for me. Mothers who want babies but, because literally everything in biology can go wrong in ways that make abortion the only humane option, those poor women can't. And they don't need police investigating their terminations in the middle of unimaginable grief.

Is this a physician-specific thing?

If you ask the children of EOL patients whether they'd want aggressive treatment for their parents, I'd bet they'd in general be way more interested in it than the parents themselves too. In fact if the children landed in the ICU, I'd bet the EOL parents would also be more interested in giving their children aggressive care than themselves.

How much of this is anything beside human nature?
I guess I still just don't really see it... like, coal plants are also much less energy-dense than nuclear fission. So is solar, so is wind. We build all of those anyway. There are lots of things other than power density that contribute to whether or not a particular generation technology is economical.

As to why massive fission reactors aren't built: there are plenty of already-available passively-safe/meltdown-proof fission designs (many gen-IV designs qualify), and from what I can tell, the reasons they're not built are as much political as anything -- people don't like them, and the consequent regulatory regime has made any fission projects prohibitively expensive regardless of their size. None of this need be the case with fusion.

As to tritium: I think you're overstating the tritium risk. They're only dealing with grams at a time, and even if it all leaked out, it would rapidly diffuse such that risk to the public would be infinitesimal as compared to normal background radiation (plus its half-life is only something like 12 years). ITER has a safety page: https://www.iter.org/mach/safety that essentially says as much.
Most of those cobol programs are doing something equivalent to a single SQL query.

And Cobol programs are _verbose_. Have a look at the examples on Rosetta code. C# (which isn't particularly concise) can do in 40 lines what Cobol needs 250+

Where we (modern programmers) would write a program with a large number of modules and imports, most Cobol programmers probably wouldn't. There is a lot of copying-and-pasting going on there.

That's an average program length of 3000 lines. Imagine your code base consisted of 112,500 files, each of about 500 lines (including HTML, CSS, SQL statements and "real" program code).

That's about what it is equivalent to.

Plugging that equivalent number into a Cocomo calculator, it says "20 years of 800+ programmers".
In addition to the sibling comment (which mentions that you can use the original docker-compose) such a CLI-compatible reimplementation also exists [0]. It's not always a 100% drop-in replacement, but gets you pretty far in my experience.

> V was also self hosted (written in V) from the start, which says a lot about the maturity of the language.

How could that possibly be true? You need a V compiler to compile V but none would have existed "from the start".

You've also said multiple times on Discord that the original V compiler was written in Go.

One of the best thing you could do is at the same time the thing everyone tries to avoid: get bored and think.

If it's too difficult, try taking a slow walk while you think (in nature if you can, like you mentionned).

It will help you when boredom is out of your control.

It will help you live with your inner self.

wow, thanks for mentioning sqlc (and pggen below). The ergonomics is exactly what I have been looking for.

I've dreamt of writing such libraries but alas, never found the time to actually do it. But, now I can just use one of them!
I did come across this solution eventually, and it's what I used. It's not ideal by any stretch, but it worked for me.

A working MITM TLS stripping proxy deployed on a trusted server would be a better solution, but such options were complicated to deploy.
do you mean the hackers dream of how easy it is to, uh, hack unsuspecting users? because thats basically what the article points out that web3 basically is shadowed by non transparent and opaque processes and if it wants to do anything of value it needs to drop the hackers dream, cause thats not how the web gerew up.

Closer to 50%, not quite sure where you got 65% from. (8.17 + 5.08) / 25.69 = 51.58%

Depends a lot on what the new application architecture looks like, but one option is this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manage...

The physical architecture can be anything. A single container, the PaaS App Service, VMs, etc...

My understanding is that prior to abortion being legalized, attempted abortion was not an uncommon cause of death. If someone is so willing to avoid pregnancy that they kill themselves, I don't know if it can be reasonably described as convenience anymore.
I agree that the sourcing does seem off in JDDunn9's post but your comment doesn't invite further discussion much.

> Once you have a fusion reactor running, could you use the fusion reactor itself to breed tritium?

I'll have to find the citation, but IIRC the answer is "theoretically, yes" - the concept is that molten lithium could be used in a tokamak to absorb neutrons and produce tritium at the same time.

EDIT: Here are two citations I was able to find quickly - it looks like one of the ITER experiments will be to validate the concept [1] and that this could also be the way that heat is removed from the reactor. [2]

Maybe the world would be better of if the person who leaked the Minton Report, showing that the Trafigura corporation was knowingly dumping toxic waste [1], was deanonymized and "took responsibility" for their actions?

It becomes a gamble whether the officer wants to spend more time looking for a reason to detain you.

In my experience, police make lots of quick judgements about whether you are “a criminal” based on how compliant you are with their instructions and how normal your behavior is. If you are a nail sticking out, expect most officers to at least consider putting more effort into looking into what they can cite/arrest you for.

The joke is that given enough time and incentive, any officer can cite any person for a vehicle infraction. Take that, but assume there are tons of other laws (not just vehicle codes) that a sufficiently motivated officer can use.

I suspect it actually takes a lot to make an officer turn just a Terry Stop into an arrest. Maybe a verbal or gesture threat against the officer, maybe an admission of a crime, maybe behaviors that a jury would agree describe a person under the influence. I don’t think just saying “no” to a question on the first ask will cause any arrests. LEOs are very experienced at using small psychological tricks/nudges/anchoring to get what they want with compliant detainees.

Experience. Having seen it before. All the way through. Many times.

Yes, an MD fresh out of medical school might react just like anyone else: try to preserve/prolong life of their loved ones at all costs. Once they've worked in the ICU for even a few months? They swear they'd never do that to a loved one.

Firefox is no longer updated on such older OSes, and besides the client application you're using may be abandonware - after all, not only browsers use TLS but also email clients and so on. The only option is to retrofit a newer TLS engine onto a proprietary OS (ha ha), or strip the encryption entirely via a trusted MITM to allow the application to connect at all.

Again, over the long history of both the ABC and BBC there has been a strong record of investigative journalism that has been critical of the government at times. The independence for these purposes has been enshrined in law and withstood some pretty strong challenges from governments that were on the wrong side of their reporting at times. The organisations survived. The governments did not in all instances.

Re: your hyperbole on Australia turning to authoritarianism, don't believe the hype.

Kubernetes has a serious growth ceiling - way below what Nomad has. So if you actually have a problem of interesting scale, it's almost certainly "pick Nomad now, or get blamed for a costly migration later when you realise that Kubernetes is not for you".

>GET OFF SOCIAL MEDIA

Because that’s more often than not the better outcome for the owners.

A profitless venture is one that won’t sustain itself in the long run. Small business owners as it is often take home less than minimum wage for the hours they put in when you factor in what they receive at the end of the year. Medium business owners often have it rougher because they’re in that awkward place in the market where they have both a high headcount and low margins.

Big businesses can often do what they want within reason, but it’s not like every corporate out there is Apple with massive margins to work with. Big businesses also fail, or have to sell off profitless parts of their business, or get taken over by some holding company.

Also: it doesn’t matter what you or I would prefer them to do. The owners of a business are going to look at their costs, the economics of the market and make a determination for themselves. If they’re put in a position where they have to raise prices just to continue earning a small profit at all, and they lose enough customers, then they’re just going to go out of business anyway.
is every substack selling future far right nujobbery or is that just from the hackernews crew
Dude. Nobody has the slightest idea how to effectively treat "aging". The billionaires that engage in that fantasy might be pushing the state of the art a little bit, sure, but they do it from a starting position of absolute ignorance, and their efforts are mostly in vain.

It's like that old joke about a group of PMs that have "invented the general AI". Now all that's left to do is for some researchers and engineers to create it.
Old software speaking to other old software or hardware. The only solution to get the entire thing to work without spending lots of time on it, is to replicate a "period-correct" environment inside a VM. Modern OSes may support a subset of the functionality, but definitely not all of it.
Yeah we need Fusion if we want to put back the carbon into the ground as the rest can mostly help us bring down new carbon use but Fusion can bring down the cost of carbon capture to actually reverse global warming as well. So far the world is just looking at mitigating or slowing it down only which is simply put not enough.
Not sure what your point is, you said something that was simply wrong. Like, literally a factual error and I pointed that out. Not sure what counterpoint you are trying to make.

And btw, this is also wrong, Tesla 2021 Model 3 uses different cells depending on where they built and at what trim. They can be from CATL, Panasonic or LG.

Its double wrong in claiming that Modern Tesla is simply using Panasonic cells and they just showed up with money. Tesla and Panasonic built up a lot of expertise together, and the 2170 cells with the specific chemistry being produced in Nevada is cooperation between the companies. The idea that Tesla showed up with money and Panasonic did literally everything is nonsense.

Tesla since then of course has spend many billions investing in internal battery expertise, including supply chain, materials and designing their own cells (their own cathode and anode chemistry) and their own battery manufacturing plant.

So on the one hand you have Toyota buying mostly non-lithium ion cells from Panasonic, on the other you have Tesla who is starting to produce its very own cells from its own factories.

Toyota could ramp up faster because they had the money but over the next 5-10 years you have literally every company trying to do that and being last with the smallest plan is clearly not the position you want to start .

the first commenter was right on the env thing helping with ci/cd secret isolation

the open issue is that GHA env is vulnerable to typical npm/pip/conda/etc supply chain attacks. it lets them do funny network requests (both data exfil + integrity, and even quota wastage / DoS):

- GitHub hosted runners should allow inbound/outbound domain safelists, full isolation w internal repo safelisting, or something else like it

- and/or self-hosted runners should have an Azure serverless mode where the host owner can do their own presets. less good b/c trickier to maintain typical safelists

currently , GHA is default-allow for supply chain attacks =\

in theory folks can try docker-in-docker to limit network access, or the equiv lower, and layer on internal repos to prevent 0-days, but this gets gnarly quickly and more sanely handled by the managed CI env we are all paying for
