I'm a ruby dev so as @bogwog mentioned, Crystal is appealing in it's similarly. I like being in a typed language, and it's _fast_. I'm running this on a very low powered server and it's holding up great.

Also, while I'm really glad it seems to have resonated with so many people, a huge part of this project was the learning I got from it. Getting better at Crystal's type system and the Lucky framework, discovering and using the monads library, learning how to deploy crystal, etc. I hear you on Invidious being difficult to contribute to. I've felt the same way. My difficulties have stemmed, not from crystal, but from the custom libraries that invidious needs. I effectively can't run it locally without Docker. Scribe should work fine locally.

Every language and framework has its tradeoffs. Rails would certainly have been the safer choice, but I also don't expect this to have massive contributions, so I went for the thing I was more interested in. Maybe that was a wrong choice, who knows!

So TL;DR I like crystal and wanted more experience with it. It felt like the right tradeoff for this project, this time.
> Now we've got a huge swath of US citizens that will never take the vaccine.

They were always not going to do it. The second it became a political issue, their minds were made up. Blaming what was or wasn't done by third parties, government, etc. is completely missing the point.
Nuclear at this point is dead in the water. The upward trajectory of renewables is so strong that building nuclear plants is no longer viable. If anybody would change course now and start planning and building new nuclear plants it will be at least 10 years before these go online. By this time wind and solar will be another magnitude cheaper and nuclear will not be able to compete.
With NG you also have to take into account leakage from extraction and transport. Methane is a pretty strong GHG. I've heard that if you take that into account NG is not that much better than coal.
Ten Years of WFH Lessons (2020)
Most of the implementation details here don't really matter until you need to modify these advanced types directly. That Ensure type definition line in that example is a low level detail that you put in a library somewhere, import throughout your codebase, and then mostly forget about.

In practice you'd have someone that understands this set it up once, and then document its usage for others, maybe document the implementation to make it easier to modify later.

The TS compiler is surprisingly good at giving you good readable error messages as well when your code violates these advanced types; the errors tell you what you specified and what is supported, it doesn't display the low level type logic as part of the error users see. This means that there's very little need for anyone to really how these type definitions work.

EDIT: clarifications and spelling.
Fauci lied about masks at the start of the pandemic -- the whole world knew the size of the virus and the type of mask you need to wear to protect from it. Apparently only Americans had the genius idea to show some research showing masks are bad for you... Trump, Fauci and the whole bunch lying through their teeth and people still take their sides.... my god...

UpToDate is the probably the most used clinical resource by doctors in the US. I was surprised to learn that it's available for individuals to subscribe to.

Every hospital makes UpToDate available to its clinicians, because it's so universal. The depth and quality of content is many steps above what someone can find through a web search, and nearly all the clinical content is authored by physicians. It's also what most primary care doctors are looking at when they do more research on something they don't know the answer to in the office. You can find the current standards of care to expect for a specific condition or disease here, with the exception being if you are being treated at an academic hospital providing treatments closer to the leading edge.
>As much as plasma breakeven may be the entire goal of ITER

Who gave you that impression? They were lying. The goal of ITER has always been to study burning plasmas and experiment with solutions to problems that a reactor-grade MCF machine faces.
The decision to lie to the public about masks fearing an N95 shortage for healthcare workers has been the biggest disaster in many minds.

Ideally the government would have owned up and said:

‘wups we were supposed to be stockpiling these for the last 10 years when this topic came up in a disaster planning scenario (it did), but we didn’t do that and now there is no way we will have enough for many years because industrial supply chains are never operated at <10% capacity without government subsidies(wups #2). Make cloth masks work in the mean time but they are 10x less effective than masks with built in static charged fibers, so the best you can do is socially distance and keep your activities out doors when you can.’

We see the reverberation today, with people still wearing cloth masks and governments not stockpiling for the next pandemic (would rather have one extra tank than available supply for every citizen).
The consumer "workaround" mentioned uses some sort of iCloud "Secure Enclave" Backup file of some sort and will restore data on a new phone if you use the "Recovery" option, which does transfer regular boring TOTP and the primary "consumer" MSA account and the recovery locks/bricks the same data on the previous phone in the process.

The additional issue mentioned is that while it works great for the MSA account and any boring TOTP you have setup it doesn't work at all for other Azure AD accounts of seemingly any stripe (Corporate Microsoft 365 accounts, B2B, B2C), which is surprising given it is Microsoft's Authenticator and they highly recommend using it, but it fails for Corporate MFA transfers. It just gives an error icon and not very useful error message.
Agreed, it's especially ridiculous that they said Trump should have been advocating for the vaccine when he did and still does.
Yes. More about that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28839112
You could, but you'd need grid access for when the sun goes down, and the variability of sun and wind is one of the leading justifications for nuclear.
You raise some really good points. Perhaps Sony is also afraid that if the other makers don't follow suit, that they'll lose market share to the others due to unsynched releases. Car makers are expected to release new models yearly, but not so much for game systems. So if surge pricing is over with a nintendo switch but just starting with PS5, maybe the switch takes over. Perhaps people would rather compete to get a limited supply than to pay more?
Are you Facebook?
This is exactly what I'm tracking for the 2022 election - is the public able to separate anti-mask/vaxx choice from anti-vaxxing within their minds? Or will the right be tied to anti-vaxxing by proxy?

I'm leaning toward the latter. Most people I talk to think the right is actively pushing anti-vaxxing efforts despite top federal Congressional leadership explicitly encouraging vaccine procurement (and their former POTUS "inventing" the vaccine!).
> no disrespect but i know plenty of liberals who will not get the vaccine.

Respectfully, those people have been anti-vax for a while now (https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/what-do-le...) and were part of the group that were unpersuadable.

But leftist anti-vaxers aren't a majority of current COVID-19 anti-vaxers. Those are politically motivated groups.
> We still couldn't compete with conventional electricity plants, even with a $30/tonne price on carbon in Canada.

Was this Canada specific? A country with both very abundant native oil & gas and abundant hydro energy with nuclear power plants in place to boot.

Not every country in the world has such abundant energy sources on tap.
In the data provided, the majority believes that burning coal does not cause climate change, while nuclear power does. In fact, it is the reverse--coal's impact on climate change is exponentially more than nuclear.

Thus, if the data is accurate, and if the majority rules directly, from these viewpoints it suggests that investments would be made into coal, and reduced from nuclear, which is aligned with creating more climate change, not less.

So, this implies that, for these data, democracy and taking action against climate doom are compatible.
Because the risks of not getting the vaccine are orders of magnitude higher than the risks of getting the vaccine. It's absolutely insane that were still having this conversation at this point.
Thank you for clarifying.

This is why I don't know what the right answer is on the messaging. The US government, and nearly every government, has a history of lying to people. The other side of the coin though is that during those early months, and well into lock down, everything was up in the air about the virus, how it transmitted, and how to fight it. If I was in the position of how to convey that information to people, in the most honest way possible, I don't know if I would have done a better job (or fucked it up even more).
Presumably since they feel its a privacy violation to ask about vaccination status, they are going to just assume everyone isn't vaccinated and run their offices as such?
Easy to have both -- "the driver fled the scene in their vehicle"
Look, in order to prevent scary radiation from entering the environment through nuclear we have to use clean and even more radioactive natural gas.
What about the times in which there was plenty of such data, only for it to be false in the end, say, typical conspiracy turned true like MKULTRA or NSA?

Bear with me, not every country has as many people doubting their government, the bottom line in my opinion is that public trust in the government has been eroded so much that this happens and these people are aware that the government is capable of spinning lies that seem completely true, so why believe them at all?
> A few 140mm fans

Yeah... Nearly nobody has a few 140mm fans on their computers. Most people won't have any fan lager than 120mm. Powerful computers usually have a pair of them. Maybe 3 if you count the PSU.
I have yet to hear an argument from a pro-nuclear power supporter that excluded building plants nearby.

Conversely, we tend to see massive wind and solar farms built far away from the people most adamantly insisting they are the only green future...
> Now we've got a huge swath of US citizens that will never take the vaccine.

Some never will. But it's been less than two years. If they started telling the truth, the real truth, the hard truths, and kept at it, consistently, for two or five or ten years, at least some of them would come around.

Oh, yeah, and if you stopped trying to manipulate and force them. Treat people like grown-ups, even when they disagree with you, even when you think they're wrong, even when you think the data proves they're wrong. In case you[1] haven't noticed, people aren't robots that will do what you want. They are fiercely independent, and they resent being forced into something, and they will fight you just because you're trying to force them, whether or not what you're trying to get them to do is a good thing.

[1] "You" here does not refer to you, gentle reader. It refers to the "you" in authority who think that they can force people to get vaccinated without it backfiring spectacularly.
gamdevs have been waiting for this for something like a decade. I'd like to know if anything has changed to expect it to land anytime soon esp in Safari.
For more mind-blowing stuff, try learning F#, where async/await as a language feature is something you could implement entirely in user-space (though of course you need to access the .NET APIs if you want to implement parallelism). F# has "computation expressions", which allow you to define syntax for fully-general "monad-like things", and the built-in `async` computation expression is just a part of the standard library and is defined using that mechanism.

I imagine exposure to algebraic-effects systems must make one feel the same way: like it's such an awful hack when a language has to have async support baked into its syntax!
Fusion begets fusion. ITER plans to have high-intensity, relatively short Q=10 shots. If the plasma heats itself then it doesn't need much heating. This sudden focus on Q is clearly the result of one vocal non-expert not understanding the field and everyone listening to them like they have something valuable to teach.
I'm not sure why you'd think it's not useful to someone somewhere.

Game devs see how much time you play games, what type of games, if you purchase IAPs, etc. News feed apps sell what kind of news stories you read/follow/subscribe. Commerce apps sell what kind of things you buy, the prices you pay, the items you look at but don't buy etc.

From all of that "metadata", one can build up a profile about you that's pretty accurate. If you can't imagine why that is useful to someone, then I'd posit you're not trying hard enough.
> Being a free man requires a lot of effort, but gives you a lot. Seeking your own goals is powerful.

This is true.

I have written here, about my experience. After leaving my company of 27 years, where, frankly, I hated the work, even though they loved me, I started looking for other work; especially of a more technical bent (I was a manager).

I was shown the door at every company I applied to. In a few cases, they were nice enough to open the door, before throwing me through it.

So I have set up shop doing coding for a 501(c)(3). I don't make a dime, but I code 10 hours (or more) a day, seven days a week.

It's a joy. I have never been so happy.

Also, despite some insinuations, my work is not "hobby" or "hermit" work. The application I'm developing now, consists of three servers that are aggregated by a pretty large-scale iOS native app. I wrote two of the servers (one was the work of about ten years, the other, seven months). I've been writing the app for a year. I could have done it in a lot less time, but the folks I'm working with didn't really have a clear idea of how it would work, so we've been refining it as we go.

It would make a lot of Fortune 50 companies cry, and I'm doing it for free.
> Bullshit. It's pretty common for young women to consent to do porn and then after the fact (weeks, months, years later) decide that they shouldn't have.

Women who consent is out of topic. Although how much some of this consent is meaningful is another can of worms.

> If you sign a contract, you've signed a contract and need to abide by it. I'm of course against non-consensual stuff, but don't cry "I was a victim" later on because you've had a change of heart.

So what kind of evidence do you need that a woman has been raped? Can there be such evidence that can’t be disputed by you or someone else? Can we ever say that a woman has been raped?

I’m seriously curious how you’re reasoning here.

> The root cause of all this a puritanical western society using the power of the state to impose their morals on others.

The West is hardly puritanical, porn and prostitution in general are large industries. The laws are not puritanical, Pornhub got a slap on the wrist relative to what they’ve done. Maybe it’s too puritanical for you, I don’t know.

> So many of us are still conflating sex work with "human trafficking"

That’s a straw-man. It can be argued that an increase in prostitution is positively correlated with an increase in
sex trafficking. But that’s not like saying that they are one and the same, no one here is arguing that they are.
Code review by someone who did not cared for years except doing reviews strikes me as a bad idea. Same with that person teaching juniors.

If is supremely annoying when code review is done by superior who does not produce code, but has opinions based on vague recollections.
> Note: this is highly effective because I already had significant K8s experience, so, if you're still learning about what Ingress-Controller to choose for your OIDC proxy, then don't go that route.

What would you recommend instead ?
> Why would they initially tell us to not wear masks?

Because hard data was scarce and authorities are reluctant to impose anything as mere precaution. Or rather, whether authorities would do that kind of thing as a precaution before there is solid evidence varies from country to country (unsurprisingly).
In the context of an article titled "... Bitcoin" the meaning is clear.
I had a stripe account terminated for violating their terms (spoiler alert, I hadn't) but any crypto offering by them will be subject to the same terms.

It's absolutely toxic that companies like this think they can move into the crypto space, it was set up explicitly to get away from companies like this.
Where would the ads be displayed? I almost never open the Docker Desktop application itself. It starts up automatically and mostly does what it's supposed to do. I connect to it through the command line.
People tend to mistrust government experts when politicians tell them to mistrust government experts. Republicans who say they do not trust the CDC on COVID have no such doubts about the DEA, whose decisions on drug policy are just blindly trusted, simply because Republican leaders have told everyone not to trust the CDC. People do not simply draw their own conclusions; like it or not, everyone is influenced by the people around them and people tend to line up behind their leaders.

All right, sorry if I misinterpreted you.

For the question on whether you can discuss such things with a taxi driver: yes. The authorities don't care about that sort of thing until it escalates (or think think it will escalate) into a bigger movement.

What you say next, about people only being able to choose between having CCP and not having CCP, was not the point I was making, but it is something I think. I don't understand however why you then say that we'd be talking past each other. Only having the choice between having CCP and not having CCP is simple reality. History did not give us another choice. The Qing was weak and corrupt. The KMT was corrupt. No other governing movement in the past 100 year succeeded. The west doesn't have a good track record of installing functioning, prosperous democracies in foreign lands (see e.g. middle east). The CCP is literally all we have, and the past 30 years of CCP is also literally the most successful period in the past 3000 years.

What is written in the essay corroborates roughly with what I hear in social circles. Whenever I talk to Chinese people on the western Internet, most of them either have roughly similar views. I also follow a bunch of foreigners who live in China, and they too corroborate roughly this view.

Last year, the government built sewers for my wife's grandmother, and installed a toilet for her (she lives in the country side and only had a literal mud hole in the grond as a toilet with no sewer). They gave her health insurance. She is overjoyed. She isn't happy because of propaganda, she's happy because she is actually satisifed with what the government provides.

Man-made nuclear fusion is not self-sustaining, requires massive infrastructure to ignite very little of material.

Nuclear fission of unstable isotopes is self-sustaining chain reaction that converts a lot of matter into energy without much of hardware - just put some sub-critical mass of Plutonium into a sphere lined with conventional explosives.

I can't help feeling we'll find new ways to soak up that energy.

Ad tech will start segmenting right down to the individual customer, burning thousands of watts to work out how to entice then to spend $20.

Perhaps raw heat, rather than the indirect heat effects of global warming will be our next challenge.
Why has it been a failure? Because you say so or because you want it to be one? Scope and bredth of the lies? Like the economy crashing and going into recession the day after we voted to leave?
Soldierning on, you make it sound like the economy has tanked and were in the middle of a massive economic downturn with massive capital flight, high interest rates and hyperinflation.. When in fact the the figures today showed the highest number of unfilled vacancies in 20 years, an economy thats generating so many jobs it cant fill them? Thats failure?
Explain to me exactly why the issues arent temporary, you seem to be utterly convinced of this, even though the logistical issues have only been occuring in the last few months. Explain to me the great cost part of your statement, what great costs? Paying working people higher wages?

As for the NI protocol, it looks like the EU are caving in to UK demands not the other way around , and as for the US and trade issue, they've already started to take trade sanctions off us but have left them on the EU.

That was a democratic decision to leave or did leave "cheat" on facebook and social media? The leader of the opposition who was one of the leading remainers has come to accept Brexit and the fact we're not going back. Delusional you say. You sound very bitter about the UK leaving, but you're going to have to accept it like a mature adult and not sulk about it. Its done, its not going to be reversed, sovereignty isnt going to be handed back to the EU again. There wont be another referendum, we wont have free movement, we wont join the single market or a customs union. You wont have a burgandy passport anymore. And you're a citizen of the UK and not the EU.

Would have been the same move in my book, I wouldn't have tolerated that.
Until it's the root cause of code not working as expected, by another developer far removed from initial implementation. Non-obvious code is harder to maintain. Code is written for people, not machines; that means the harder it is for people to maintain, the less useful it actually is.

True freedom is getting fired for hesitation over experimental medicine. People with hesitation are assholes who want to put others at risk. It's so clear now.
We're still a very long way off. Sabine Hossenfelder has a good explanation of what's wrong with most reporting on progress toward fusion:

http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2021/10/how-close-is-nuclea...

edit: not sure why this was downvoted, it's directly relevant and the video and transcript discuss this experiment. It quotes Arthur Turrell: "This phenomenal breakthrough brings us tantalisingly close to a demonstration of 'net energy gain’ from fusion reactions – just when the planet needs it." But this comes close to getting Qplasma to be 1, which is about a factor of 50-70 lower than getting Q to be 1 (total power into the reactor vs usable power out of the reactor).
Not OP, but this sounds a lot like Maine.
I humorously selected just one pairing of 'specific axis state' - 'specific notorious allied state'. It was not intended as a serious analysis of average life outcomes in said totalitarian regimes.
The issue is that the term accident implies a lack of intension, while in most crash reporting we actually have no idea if the collision was intentional, negligent, or whatever. Using a term like crash or collision is actually much closer to the bare facts.
