That is production of hot neutrons, not electrical power. Actual electrical power is still decades away... or would be if anybody bothered to try building it. Cost-effective electrical power from Tokamak is never.

FRC, though, maybe. But you would have to have people actually working on that.

No plans to share yet as it's a mess tbh and it's nothing special, your version seems way more advanced. Regarding the look, I just wanted a bit more control over my UI which I styled with tailwind, this is also an older screenshot, looks a lot better now.
A monad is a triple:

1. A type constructor M of a single argument
2. A function of type a -> M a
3. A function of type M (M a) -> M a

subject to the monad laws. So the 'array monad' is the triple (Array, \x -> [x], Array.concat) and the 'option monad' is the triple (Option, \x -> Some(x), \x -> match x | Some(o) => o; None => None). Saying a type 'is' a monad is imprecise but just means it has an associated monad instance. I've never seen a type with multiple monad instances but I don't know if there could be one.
But does it actually help against those vulnerabilities?
That only bothers people who want to make life "fair" at the expense of what is practical.

There is a reason we let people keep the wealth they build. It's not because it's "fair." It's because taking it away, and having the brutes or demagogues decide how to distribute it, makes the society a hellhole.
If there was a risk of a nuclear war, I'd not be surprised if the UK sent some level of force down there as a 'back up'.

Besides that idle thought- there's quite a lot of materiel down there already, so unless the UK withdrew war machines to help in the global annihilation, Argentina would still face some stiff opposition.
Well it was at first. Even after Japan, the US Airforce considered nuking Korea, but were eventually convinced not to by the Marines and Army who argued that deploying nuclear weapons risked a similar move by the Soviets on the battlefield where soldiers were centralized. Remember that the nukes back then were much, much smaller.

Also, a bit of a nitpick, but we do use nuclear weapons. We have for the past 70+ years. We haven't deployed them since Japan, but their role as a deterrent is a form of use.
They're generally talking about ICUs and the like. You didn't need ICU for stitches most likely.
I was audited by the “tax police” at the IRS. We had a constructive conversation, I fixed the problem, paid some more taxes and was done. I don’t think this advice applies to all government investigators.
I, too, think Python has some very bad "design" choices, but the article completely misses them. Whitespace, dynamic typing and stuff like that are almost completely a matter of taste / use case, while patchwork-y and mostly incoherent data collections, convoluted functional support, messy package dependencies, frequent breakages between versions and so on are what often makes python development a PITA.
high-level IoT botnet explanation: Imagine you discovered a massive flaw in a robot vacuum/video doorbell/smart fridge/wi-fi connected blender/router/etc, where it would accept and execute any command you sent it.

Next you come up with some way to discover and exploit as many of these devices as you can. It could be by finding all IP addresses of exposed devices via something like Shodan, or exploiting and taking over a centralized server that all these devices communicate with, or some other novel way.

Anyways, once your in control of all these devices, you pick a target URL and send a command to all your devices to start CURLing a specific address over and over and over.

Boom, you have a IoT botnet for DDoS attacks.

We just make rent on 4+ incomes.

Our last rental (of 10y) was sold. Our new rent is on the low side for this new market but is still 70% higher.

Of note: We were beyond lucky to get it. We beat out 50 applicants for an ad that was up for two hours. Ads up all day will get hundreds of desperate renters.

Ask HN: What to do about a Twitter bot attack
My friend's company is being targetted by a Twitter bot "attack." There are a 100 or so accounts that are obvious bots and that are posting untrue tweets directed at his company.
Tools like Hoaxy have confirmed these accounts are bots, but it's also really obvious. All of them have a similar generic landscape background, a random quote from Goodreads, and except for these tweets aimed at my friend's company, they only have a few rewteets.
I've tried helping him by using Twitter's report feature and even their contact us feature with a hand written message, but of course, nothing has come from this.
We're not sure what the attacker's end game is, but it's placing a lot of stress on my friend and he's not sure what's next.

Is there anything else we can try? These are obvious bots that are spewing misinformation, but Twitter doesn't seem to care.
I mostly agree with you, but at the same time, we are far from a "free and unregulated market." There are mountains of regulations to comply with, and more than one startup idea I've had to disrupt this type of shit never got off the ground because I would have had to spend months of my time just reading rules or hiring extremely expensive consultants.

I think the problem is not necessarily lack of regulation (although there are consumer protection/privacy rules that we badly need), it's that the big companies are the ones writing the regulation and conveniently it makes it really hard for anyone to disrupt or challenge them.
>At least the thing doesn't have a microphone on it too...

How do you know? If they're doing tracking where tracking isn't necessary and don't disclose the full extent of tracking under some penalty for lying, then maybe the machine does have a microphone in it? How would you know without taking it apart? It's not like the doctor or device manufacturer are trustworthy on the privacy front.
>But if he wants to do that that's his choice I guess

Well...was his choice. The effects of that choice are now a matter for autopsy.
Can someone explain to me what the problem with these things are?

Like, why is he complaining that he has to add a value to a variable? If he doesn’t want the variable created during init of an object then don’t create it.

And what exactly is the problem with self? I’m a bit unsure what he is mad about.
I can't remember how much of the data we put into the original paper, but we found that in practice idiomatic Ruby objects do generally have stable instance variable insertion order and so stable shapes.

Unstable insertion order does introduce polymorphism that's true, but that's a fairly linear and gentle performance overhead. I wouldn't characterise this as a huge problem myself. Mis-predicting object layout if you try to do it statically like Rubinius does is a full-on performance cliff and pretty catastrophic.
Until we get some sort of ranked choice voting it will be this way.
If vaccines never gave immunity how come people who had the natural immunity from having the disease naturally were not required to be vaccinated? Actually even in my older years all I had to present as a proof of vaccination to the US government was my blood with antibodies.

that's what some people are saying yes. other possibly reasons include obesity, smoking habits, alcoholism, vaccine mandates on hospital staff, poor budgeting and planning by the hospital administrators on predicting ICU capacity.

It's so easy to reduce this one variable thinking. But the oversimplification is what is dividing us
In my state, if I work at a restaurant and I smoke indoors on the job that is against the law. A tremendous number of jobs ban indoor smoking among employees and will absolutely fire you if you don't comply.
I am not anti-vax, but I STRONGLY oppose this vaccine mandate. Looking at the CDC data here: (https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Sex...) there have been 3,043 covid deaths in the 18-29 year range out of 103,738 total deaths in that same age range.

I'm 29 and in good health. I know I'm much more likely to die from activities I enjoy like rock climbing, farm work, skydiving, driving my car, but I don't wan't my employer mandating I can't do those things. I have weighed the risks. I want to get covid eventually if I haven't already for better protection against future variants that could have worse survival rates for my age range (https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-on...) If I were older, I would choose to get the vaccine.

Also, people will say that I'm going to spread it to others. Well the CDC states that "preliminary evidence suggests that fully vaccinated people who do become infected with the delta variant can spread the virus to others" and recommends they wear masks! (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vac...) I suspect that if I get covid and quarantine, I'll be less likely to spread the delta variant than someone who is vaccinated after I recover (people who have had been vaccinated are 13 times more likely to get infected than unvaccinated people who were previously infected with covid according to the science.org article I linked above)
Personally, I can't stand open plan, and prefer working remotely. HN has a population which has the same tastes, enough to only see a one sided view on HN.

Simply put, the productivity debate isn't as settled as we may think. See [0] for example, for a mention of a few studies making the arguments for the other side.

IMHO, the obvious congestion benefits are enough to suggest some form of governmental encouragement, that will allow at least some tech workers in a company to work remotely.

It's in the order of months. Largely because of performance optimisations and iterations due to feedback between me and Leo (the level artist in charge of setting it up).

All this hand-wringing about 'the children' is just safetyism.

>"Every major browser that uses the open source Chromium project has declined to use it..."

My point is that it should not be something that has to be removed. In fact, I'm vehemently against the idea of it in general. Are we going to start using Chromium with a list of patches to remove all the privacy violations? That's still giving up to the monoculture, though I suppose the privacy violations are assuaged. Why not just use Firefox? Open source?

Please explain why it's better to use Vivaldi. I'm arguing against it, but Manjaro must justify why the FOSS spirit of Manjaro was broken, and what possible benefit (metaphorical, or $$$ literal) would be gained by switching to Vivaldi.

That is now the definition that proponents of the term popularly use after backtracking from widespread push-back. Of course it's yet another case of bait-and-switch. The literal term "cultural appropriation" parsed at face-value does not suggest anything about disrespect; if one really wants to call out disrespect, they can just do so, there's no need for a buzzword in the first place. Racism is racism, disrespect is disrespect.

If the term doesn't clearly convey what it means, it's a shitty term, or it's designed to create friction rather than understanding. This is such a case, where those with identity-politics as a hobby and religion will talk out of both sides of their mouths.

Buzzwords are favored in media and op-eds because of their nefarious nature. We should dispense with them and communicate what we mean. Most of them share the same problem, e.g. "white fragility" ("well ackshuallyyy it just means that white people are uncomfortable talking about race" -- yeah? Then why call it that?)

In either case, the man died due to anti-vaxx sentiment. Either because anti-vaxx people were flooding the ICU, or because anti-vaxx staff were getting furloughed for non-compliance.

Did the MMR vaccine mandates from the 70s and 80s create permanent enemies? Lots of people say this is a huge world-shaking issue for them, and I believe that they believe that, but politically active people are heavily incentivized to learn how to see everything in maximalist terms. If most businesses begin mandating the vaccine and infection rates are low next year, I'm confident the vast majority of people won't remember why it was supposed to be a big deal.

Donald Knuth: Programming, Algorithms, Hard Problems and the Game of Life
There is an example of negative array indexing within standard lib implementations.

Functions like isprint(int c), which checks whether c is a printable ASCII character, can take as input numbers between -128 and 127 or between 0 and 255.

To achieve this, implementations usually rely on single array indexable from -128 to 255 (a lookup table).

Example from the newlib:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=blob;f=new...

And the array came (indirectly) from:

I have the same thing and I think it’s because there’s a chance she might interact with you, which is enough to prevent you from getting 100% focused. Just having someone close enough that there’s a chance they will distract me is enough for me to feel mildly distracted by that possibility.
Disabling outbound connections from things that have no business talking to the outside is a great coarse-grained approach.

Influenza is not shutting down the country and making us miserable. It's a much less disruptive disease. Just because you don't want to get a jab doesn't mean society should shut down for you.

If you don't want to get a jab don't work for them. Easy choice. Start your own Jab Free Lawn Service.

That's an interesting mistake. Fusion reactor designs today mostly target deuterium-tritium fuel, because it's the most energetic and easiest to get net power. They plan to breed the tritium from a blanket of lithium.

Based on this article, it sounds like the bomb scientists were using lithium deuteride fuel just as a solid form of deuterium, and didn't realize the lithium would breed tritium and fuel a more powerful reaction.

Now I'm wondering whether this unfortunate event was the seed for today's reactor designs.

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar. It's against the rules and the opposite of what we're trying for here.

The rules don't stop applying. as a topic becomes more significant or as feelings become more intense. Matter of fact, they apply more:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
There's also the reason that dropping all restrictions means hospitals become overwhelmed (which we are currently seeing in some parts of the country). This means that quality of emergency medical care is potentially severely compromised for both Covid and non-Covid patients, and it means that non-emergency medical care must be postponed (and just because it's non-emergency doesn't mean there aren't negative consequences of postponing it).
The article is self-congratulating and glosses over its contradictions. An office enclosed in glass is not private. The insistence that remote workers have an equal footing in terms of online meetings is rendered dubious when it's followed by the fact that lunch and beer are considered highly important for connecting with coworkers. These contradictions are acknowledged, but then quickly glossed over. It's a corporate PR piece, not a rigorous take.
