Yes, and these medical professionals take a long time to train, hence why we care about hospital capacity.

How are we measuring "powerful" here?

It's widely accepted that renewables, efficiency, carbon fees and global legislation are the leading ways to cut emisions.

Nuclear is cool tech, it just seems people are strangely monomaniacal about it and I've never understood why.

Maybe it's like "flying cars" and it caught people's attention at an early age and persists as a idea even when it's not actually as generally useful as decent public transport and city planning.
I think the main differentiator here is operating big enough reactors that could be used to enrich practical quantities of nuclear material.
Just like the times before World Wars.
Well played UK!
No, it does show a "not found" page for me on Google Play, as if it never existed. Not even the usual complete app listing with "not available in your country".

This is like everyone gets the problem but saying they don't.

You didn't get cheated, but you feel cheated.

And for the umpteenth time, you're always say to say "fuck your feelings, you knew the deal", but that works both ways, you know the deal on why people are going to feel cheated...

I guess because Russian authorities did not make a proper requests for doing so.
It really is a lowest common denominator. American companies would never impose American values, but they'll bend the knee to any authoritarian country with a juicy market.
Governments getting their act together? Well they did, and developed a vaccination system which the anti-lockdown people refuse to take, because those people are not only anti-lockdown but are against anything coming from the governments. So there's nothing a government can do to "get their act together" because it will be vilified from moment zero. This is where we are.
>Do you expect Google to go partisan war against Russian government?

Expect? To some degree, yes, for example they do not remove "illegal" YouTube videos yet. Would like to? Absolutely.
I personally would hate to lose unlimited vacations, or more specifically what Atlassian provides. I like the freedom of not worrying about how much vacation I have available. It allows me to take random days off or take a long planned vacation.
At a glance, this looks somewhat better, especially with customization/tokenization, than Tailwind's own TailwindUI.

For those worried about the classes upon classes in the HTML, I find it OK. OK, for hacking up marketing, landing, and websites. There are two ways of using a utility framework such as TailwindCSS.

1. Every module is HTML-designed and is seen from a designer's eye; know what they should look like. We see this in TailwindUI and here too with Flowbite.

2. Use Tailwind as a utility class and create CSS classes looking at the overall design and standardizing components.

Point No. 1 is more straightforward than 2 in the short term, but Point No. 2 would be the ideal approach and more easily maintainable.

Here are few examples from our website that uses Tailwind. Please be lenient; it is not a public consumable template/markup.

The general UI is driven by design token at the Tailwind configuration level -- https://github.com/valinorearth/valinor.earth/blob/master/ta...

Color Scheme follow a similar pattern https://github.com/valinorearth/valinor.earth/blob/master/ta...

Then, we write CSS but using Tailwind as a utility - https://github.com/valinorearth/valinor.earth/tree/master/sr...

For instance, for a button, instead of apply everything in each and every `<button>`, we create a `.button` class and create the button component of our choice https://github.com/valinorearth/valinor.earth/blob/master/sr...

I hope this is useful to few who wants to use Tailwind in either of the two ways.
> While German politicians still ask for the internet to be printed for them.

Just as a funny little tidbit here, I've been trying to gather documents to apply for my permanent residence here in Germany. When I got to one document proving I had been contributing to retirement, I was lucky to find that the German authorities had an online service for it. So I went to request my documents, but, in the name of saving paper, they were going to mail me a copy.
Thanks for sharing, it is very inspiring and gives other indiehackers hope that they may be able to replicate the success.

Are you US based? how did you managed transition to bootstrapping at the initial stage? through savings? and how long did it took you to become profitable?
Ok, so you have documented $15m+$8m =$23m value. They have spent $2m p.a. over how many years? An equitable price for your solution should be in the 15%-30% range of those savings.

Hope you haven't said too much. Effective negotiation involves managing information and expectations very well.

An experienced negotiator could be expected to extract a $3+m lump sum payment. So even if you paid the negotiator 30% for their services you'd walk away with at least $2m.

My recommendation would be to quickly find a lawyer/negotiator who is interested in making a cool $1m for professional services rendered on a contingency basis.

"breach of a worldwide agreement"

I don't see anything in NPT that forbids the US and UK from supplying nuclear propulsion to Australia. They are not supplying nuclear warheads.

The reason the French are pissed are strictly commercial. But that is on Naval Group. As soon as the deal was struck between Australia and Naval Group, Naval Group were changing the terms, and were years behind on some of the earliest deliveries. Had the project been going well, Australia would not have spent political capital seeking this new deal.

Well said! I've long maintained that Visual Basic set back the state-of-the-art in graphical user interfaces by (at least) a decade. The original intent and purpose of graphical UIs was direct manipulation of objects on screen. VB turned it into "filling in forms with buttons to click". And that mediocrity lives with us still, the original promise/premise sadly unfulfilled.
+1 to that - HASS is nice option if you don't want to host anything else on this device and/or really want add-ons and in-gui upgrades.

For me it was giving up too much control over the device. I'm running plain docker image for over a year now with zero issues. Upgrade is done by simple bash script, functionality offered by add-ons can be achieved by manual installation as add-ons are simply wrappers for various software.

Anyway HA is awesome. Highly recommend it.
It worked quite well at first - I mean they had Sputnik, Gagarin etc. not bad for a country that was some backwards serfdom just half a century before.

But then they lost their ambition - a major point being when they stopped trying to develop their own computing technology and just reverse engineered IBM chips instead.
Can you please describe what it means to "bend a knee"? It sounds like following the local laws to me. Do you mean something else? What else they are supposed to do? Act as a rough agent? Be the East India Company of the century, recruit mercenaries and compel foreign nations to work they see fit?
Yes, I've been surprised too by the sentiment in the article of "it's too hard to keep up with new developments in programming languages" because that is what we all face, be it young or old.

It is true, though, that it feels like change has been accelerated greatly over recent years. I mean, how many different programming language were actually used outside of niche applications in the 80s, maybe even 90s? More than a couple, for sure, but if you look at popular languages right now, there's a really long (and not overly thin) tail. And a lot of the languages you'll find on that list are fairly young, while older languages have mostly disappeared (besides C maybe).

I do wonder though what the author finds so hard to learn. I'm not exactly new, either, but with more experience I don't necessarily find new things harder to learn than when I was young. It's different - perhaps my brain doesn't work as quickly any more but with more experience, it's either to recognize where "new" concepts are very similar to stuff you already know.

With programming, I think there are people who get it easily and those who struggle. And don't mean "at first" but in general, and those who struggle would probably struggle with any language be it new or old, while those to which it comes more naturally should be able to adjust to new languages fairly easily, no?

But then again, it's not just the languages that are new, but development styles have also changed quite dramatically since the time the author first entered the industry. Just think how much powerful IDEs have changed the style of development - hot swap, time traveling debuggers, inline documentation, on-the-fly compilation with in-editor error messages, refactoring support,... This is all stuff that the author is implicitly referring to as well.
No, if (and only if) your Google Play region is set to Russia, the app isn’t accessible, not even via a direct link. This is how a local ban works: while it isn’t strictly speaking deletion as the files are manifestly still on Google’s servers, the users from the relevant country are locked out.
Not to be mean, but he has worked in the US for 30 years and does not have a 401(k)? He says he can not live on social security alone, so he has not saved a dime? I could understand it from a manual laborer, but from someone in a profession where research skills are critical?

That is fine as long as it never becomes an expectation. Not a good idea to lie on visa applications, but I don't really disclose travel within the EU for example (I am from the EU).

> Yet US Suicide rates are comparable to those of Sweden, Finland, Norway, Canada.

US has a narrow definition for death by suicide that requires knowledge of intent. Compare the US definition with the UK definition.

US: "Suicide is a death caused by self-directed injurious behavior with any intent to die as a result" https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/suicideTechnicalP...

UK: "this includes all deaths from intentional self-harm for persons aged 10 years and over and deaths caused by injury or poisoning where the intent was undetermined for those aged 15 years and over." https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde...

> The message it sends is that having a gun in your house makes it more likely for you to commit suicide.

Yes. It's well established in suicide research that preventing access to means and methods is an important suicide prevention measure. Which suicide prevention research have you recently read?

That was a great read in a time I feel overwhelmed by a lot of stuff, loneliness being one of them.

> Seek Collectives

Being passionate about geeky stuff can be a lonely hobby if you live in a small city of a small country. Even at my job, I am the only developer at my department.

But what shocked me most while interviewing for a remote position, was the fact that it was difficult for me to talk about tech and describe what I previously did. The thing I am doing for a few years now and I couldn't talk normally about it, and it shocked me that I didn't have trained that "specific social muscle" at all because I don't have anyone to talk to about technology.

Now I am looking for better opportunities abroad, which is another amplifier of loneliness.
Amazing to see the amount of similar comments here. I too grew up with the ZX (and later an Atari ST), and made my first program (a game, of course). It felt very zen to write it, play it, and then being okay with not saving it when I cut the power.
Actually Tailwind is the antithesis to BEM, so it's funny how you wouldn't compare them.

The BEM philosophy is to capture individual pieces of your UI as unique CSS classes (.Button, .Button-icon, Button-text). The "utility first" approach removes that abstraction entirely.
> If we want to solve a problem, we have to solve the problem in the reality we have (flawed as it is), not the reality we want.

I totally agree here. It's not better than typical procrastination with waiting for "ideal env" to do anything. It won't happen. The "magic monday" when it's will be the best time to solve a problem won't happen.
You try to solve it, or you don't.

>it seems like you might be suggesting that women owning guns might be a solution to that problem?

I'm not sure about that one.
Would it actually help women in that situation? I'm not even sure if that won't just create additional problems without any help for the original case.
No I'm based in Sydney. I initially had some savings, and i was profitable in two months.
I'm baffled why anyone would believe that bioterrorism isn't a possible threat.

I'm also baffled why anyone would fail to understand that the practice of medicine is protected. And that vaccines require mass testing before certification and public release. Because every genome is different and it's not just about the fact that you rolled the dice on a new treatment and personally got lucky.

And that people who don't have PhDs - and many who do - can easily fuck up something as powerful as gene editing in countless ways, with fatal or life changing consequences for themselves and others.

Given the very poor reliability of software hacking, "biohacking" is insane, by definition.

When you have a population taking horse dewormer to treat Covid, handing out biohacking tools is like taping razor blades to the limbs of people who haven't learned how to walk without falling over just because some of them want to try something a bit different.

This isn't about "censorship" or victimisation, it's about common sense and the precautionary principle.
The more you think about it, the more you realize "top" designers are a cirlejerk. They also think they're some messiah on a mission save the world.

At the same time regular people in the industry get screwed over and are paid peanuts.
Tailwind is written in SASS and is not like SASS. I would equate Tailwind to an earlier utility framework like Bourbone[1].

Tailwind can be used to build/write "StyledComponents". And one can write in the style/methodology/philosophy of BEM.

All the the above terms are all of different categories.

I've not checked your sources, but the most recent data I've seen suggest that solar and wind have passed nuclear now in terms of safety.

And this was predictable for a while since the deployment was just starting (e.g. most of the deaths are in the construction phase and then the panels generate for decades afterwards.) and the stat is in deaths per TWh.

Note that similar applies to carbon intensity, both pay up front in carbon terms and then work off that debt. Comparing old solar Vs newly installed solar is a similar fudge to nuclear vs solar, and gives misleading conclusions.

Nuclear is much better than coal, but it's hard to find a positive comparison to modern renewables without really cherry picking old data.

Clicked one link, 2012 data, another has 2012 in the URL. A third, published in 2018 is using the 2012 data, I think I've made my point.

It seems I've had significant exposure to more languages and architectures in my University program than he had in his 30 year long career.

That wouldn't surprise me. Larger companies are often well advised to keep their production languages to a minimum. I mean, even Google when they first started out (straight out of grad school) wisely restricted the number of supported languages.

If you stay with the same company for a long time, I can easily imagine that you don't get a lot of exposure to new trends. I mean, C has been around for a while now and depending on the field of application can still be the go-to language.

I don't get it. One of the biggest memes around the startup scene is that equity is essentially a lottery ticket, and most lottery tickets don't win.

Taking a known cash component with no equity, especially since this is already known and in the open is well established as the safe, "smart" move.

Then you see this hullaballoo about not winning the lottery.
Well, it's not strictly true at all that you are totally safe, I think, but you have to behave as if you are or you get nowhere. That's quite a metaphor for life in general.
Yep, the status quo holds. That said, Australia's defensive posture has always been oriented north towards Asia, not much reason for them to traverse NZ waters.

Huh. That's an interesting case you've found.

I think part of the problem is gold sellers were displacing all the good results. I blocked a few of them and got a few more relevant results, but it's not great.

But still, the search engine only finds two great hits. I wonder why not. Maybe there just aren't that many runescape pages around still? Or it may just be that it hasn't found anything better yet. The index is pretty shallow right now, only 20M URLs, I aim for more than double.

I honestly wasn't planning on this blowing up on HN at this stage.

This seems like an excellent idea for a spare tire, since those usually only lie around for a long time in the boot, and when they do get used it's expected that they don't perform exactly as the regular tires.

For some reason though, it seems like a lot of car manufacturers are moving away from spare tires to things like "car puncture kits" that fill your tire with foam or something. If the recycling of tires was abysmal before, something like that seems like it would make it even worse.

Not taking ownership of your own job search is a red flag.

Yes, but the author clearly has taken active steps to find a new job himself. I mean, the fact that he got in touch with a company to help him search is already evidence of that, but as he later writes, he did find some part-time jobs at least by his own doing.

I can sympathize with his reaction: what's the point of hiring a company to help you find a job when all they do is call you two months later to ask whether they're still needed?

Of course, we only know his side of the story...

They're looking to counter Chinese moves in the South China Sea in particular, as China has been acting aggressively diplomatically and economically towards Australia under Xi.

Ah that makes sense. A quick Google establishes that USB 2.0 only came along in 2000 (G4 Powermac first introduced '99), hence why you'd still rely on traditional expansion means for peripherals. I guess that also helps explains why PCMCIA eventually bit the dust on the notebook scene.
Yes, that's what I had in mind when I wrote "I may sort the word before hand".

Emphasis on "may", though: for small enough words, sorting may very well slow us down, so it really depends on the data: are we processing long words, or lots of small words?
