Probably a feature, not a bug.

Most mobile keyboards automatically capitalize the first character by default.

With the ephemeral nature of password characters upon entry; it would be easy to miss the capitalization, annoying users.

This one small trick probably prevents millions of people from becoming frustrated with Google every single day.

And I'll bet it only works one way.

If your password was "ABCD", then by my logic "aBCD" should work.

But if your password was "abcd", then "Abcd" should not work.
Java can be very fast indeed. It gets a bad press because many programs coded in it can be quite heavy and bloated.
The hover text for "note" and "area" both say "drag to add a new text note". Then the one for "text" says "drag to add a new text area". I'm not sure if that's on purpose, but it's confusing. Though all three function in a way that's consistent with their respective icon.

Also, on the "area" widget, there's a popup when I click on it, with a background color picker and font size choice. But there's also an icon with 4 squares arranged 2x2. It's not clear what that does.
Apparently every accident that has happened will never happen again and is a once off. So they don’t count.
Why not just demand that there is an equivalent amount of both residential and commercial real estate?

The SF story basically goes like this. The locals block residential construction because its close by and may lower the value of their property. They don't block commercial construction because jobs raise property values. So now there is a mismatch of jobs and housing. The locals will then brag about how they made their city desirable and then reject and reprimand everyone who is moving to the desirable city. The problem is basically job hogging/hoarding.

Housing only really becomes unaffordable when there are 2 people fighting over the same house because one of them has to go, for that rejected person the housing is unaffordable.

It really looks like a simple case of supply and demand where supply is housing and demand is jobs.
I’m just saying it’s a standard we don’t apply consistently, even across the tech world, never mind to other industries.

Besides, different people have different moral perspectives, and I assume most people at Facebook probably think the company has had a net benefit on society (even if you don’t).
The US already has 330GWh of hydrogen storage in operation, of which 90GWh has been in use since 1983. You store it at around 200 bar in salt caverns. The technology is well established, for decades at this point. Last I checked, the projected storage capacity in Europe alone is in the tens-to-hundreds of PWh. The US is somewhere in the same ballpark.
I’m perplexed by the combination of “screw Poland” and the idea that what the EU is doing is making Poland respect the human rights of its own citizens. Are you implying that what the EU is doing here is bad?
VAT is a sales tax, and you can only subtract the cost of goods sold, not any other expenses.

Not being able to subtract the cost of goods sold would be ludicrous and farcical.
It's because early mobile keyboards would default to automatically capitalize the first character at the start of an input, and apparently did this behavior to password fields as well. Facebook has also had this password behavior for at least 10 years.

> There are proven historical risks to commercialized nuclear power that aren't just fantasies made up by Wakefield.

There are proven risks to vaccines too. How many people die each year because anti-nuclear people slowed or stopped the adoption of nuclear power? Air pollution kills, a lot. These people have blood on their hands.
I invite you to read more carefully, and think for a moment. I am confident you will puzzle it out. Maybe ask Steve, he figured it out.
It's good to keep in mind that nuclear power is a (arguably beneficial and good) "halo product" of nuclear bombs, not the other way around.
Honestly, that stuff only proves that big name websites aren't necessarily competent. PayPal used to let you register an account with a password longer than the maximum password length used in the authentication code, for example, essentially allowing you to set a password you could never use with your account again. Being worth billions doesn't mean you've got all the basics down, it just means you've tricked many people into giving you their business.

Even good websites that will accept any valid password string will sometimes cut off the last part of a long password because their hashing algorithm throws that data away. Bcrypt, for example, supports a maximum input length between 50 and 72 bytes, depending on the library you use to hash your passwords. That's bytes, not characters!

More primitive systems used to have problems with non-alfanumerical passwords and once those algorithms have been unleashed upon the unsuspecting public, you need to support them in your login flow for years to come.
I find that flat design was the answer to having too much emphasis (in my opinion) on design and designers being too involved in the process which (again, in my opinion) collided with the engineering work..
Nuclear energy is expensive. Nuclear reactors are dangerous, if not handled properly (which they won‘t). If we build nuclear power plants now, the will be ready in 15 to 25 years, which is too late, because we need green energy now.

Just invest in renewable energies, which are better overall
The issue with FF profiles is you have to pick a default. Whatever links you click in your OS always open in the default.

In Chromium browsers when you click a link, whatever profile was last opens the link.

You also have to do some hacks to get FF profiles to use separate taskbar icons and they don't show a profile picture like Chromium browsers.

> you don't need a full planet to test a single atmospheric effect

Yes, you absolutely 100 percent do. The atmpsphere is a complex, non-stable systems with feedback loops. It does not reduce to a sum total of atmospheric effects.
Ah, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks.
It's not so much that this had to happen, but it's something that may have some social benefit. It's an unfortunate side of a society that accepts banning a wide range of things.
Reprocessing contaminates air and water to some extent. The most difficult product to control is Kr 85 which is an inert gas that usually gets vented to the air but could be stored cryogenically.

Waste products include Cs 137 and some other fission products that decay in 500 years or so. If these are concentrated they generate heat that must be managed. You also get some isotopes of uranium that are not good for fission like U 236, the plutonium goes back into reactors and so can some other transuranics, but others pose challenges. Np 237 is probably the isotope that would be most desirable to steal from a reprocessing plant to make a gun-type bomb, put it back into the reactor and it will fission but also breed Pu 238 which will make huge amounts of decay heat. This complicates the handling of the fuel but it might be a good thing because there is no way anybody is making a bomb out of Pu that is so contaminated…
A single Christian narcissist is allowed to be the judge and jury for all underage black people. What could go wrong here?
Good quip, but you’re of course ignoring the issue that democracies can sometimes trample minority rights. This is precisely the issue in this context, with Poland trying to pass anti-LGBTQ laws, and the EU trying to stop them.

Democracies are often very convenient for coercing minorities into living the way the majority wants them to live.

I couldn’t see a link in that article to the study. I would be interested to know if they graded how wrong Wikipedia was. The criteria for wrongness is described as “contained information that contradicted the latest medical research on the condition.”.

But Wikipedia articles are huge, containing many pieces of information. What if an article contains just one outdated piece of information amongst hundreds of others, and the material points are substantially correct?
We can convert CO2 into coal and then store it underground, just like nuclear waste.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look at how Luigi models task state. Right now each TaskExecutor type is responsible for running and reporting on tasks (e.g. the Slurm executor submits jobs and monitors them for completion). I was considering adding a companion "verify" stage for every vertex, which would be a command that ran and verified output. It might be a way to do what I think you're describing above without having to build in a variety of expected outputs into the daggy core. I'll check what Luigi is doing, though.

> resuming a partially failed build

Daggy does this! Right now it will continue running the DAG until every path is completed or all vertices in a processing state (queued, running, retry, error) are in the error state, then the DAG goes to an error state.

It's possible to explicitly set task/vertex states (e.g. mark it complete if the step was manually completed), then change the DAG state to QUEUED, at which point the DAG will resume execution from where it left off. [1] is a unit test that walks through that functionality.

> And given who was and who wasn't implicated in this and given which news orgs received these papers, it's pretty obvious that CIA or NSA or some other part of the US IC community was behind these leaks.

Maybe a little bit too obvious? Or maybe that is what "they" want us to believe. Or in short: It is an obvious possibility, nothing proven.

Launching it is idiotic. If you want to put it away, you could just drill a deep bore hole 2 km down. At that depth, it won't interact with anything and won't come back up except at geological time scale (millions of years). It would be very expensive, but less so than launching it.
TBH I think this is the first time I’ve seen a TUI done in Java. (There might be more examples out there but I can’t come to think of any right now at least.)
I don't follow, Fukushima was commissioned in 1971. Are you suggesting they were keeping 50 years worth of waste in the reactor room?

That seems a bit extreme even for me.
I’m surprised you’re surprised. Electron runs like a dog on modern systems while Java has been used in enterprise applications since the 90s. They’re not even in the same league. But then there isn’t much out there that even comes close to the performance overhead of Electron.

Nuclear waste is not a solved problem. Reprocessing is uneconomical and does not solve the nuclear storage problem, because it creates lots of low- to mid- radioactive waste products. Admittedly, they are not so highly radioactive, but because of that the half-lifetime is often longer.

I find it interesting, that the same people who used to critisize renewables as being uneconomical, relying on future developments in storage/better grids etc. are now the ones pushing nuclear. Nuclear is significantly more expensive, and people always talk about the problems being solved in the future through research somehow.

Don't even get me started on those small modular reactors, there are so many problems about them. For example, current generation nuclear reactors allow for significant security around them due to economy of scale. If we suddenly put many small modular reactors in (or close to) cities, are we keeping the same security? We don't have economies of scale anymore to afford this.

“Philip Cross” does not attempt to hide his motive or his hatred of those whose Wikipedia entries he attacks. He openly taunts them on twitter. The obvious unbalance of his edits is plain for anybody to see.

When I visited I remember going through some gardens and read some history of a emperor who prioritized integrating western civilization practices.

I think it was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiji_Restoration

This included finding knowledge in western civilizations and innovating on them, as well as wearing suits or hats I think. This is in relation to the industrialization era as well.
I would have thought password fields in particular would never auto-capitalize. Is this not the case?
The tsunami alone killed 10000 people, displaced many more. The nuclear accident that followed killed 1 (one). So nuclear made the disaster 0.01% worse.
People absolutely use crypto as a shortened form of cryptography and cryptocurrency.

It is not an adjective it is a prefix, which is part of a word.

Words can mean more then one thing so it can be a shortened form of a word and a word all on its own, but I've never seen crypto used as a complete word.

I don't see why where it is derived from is relevant.
El Salvador Officially Starts Mining Bitcoin Using Power from an Actual Volcano
I grew up in a large town (technically a small city) of ~75k people, and moved to a city of 1.5m people (Dublin). I hated how claustrophobic daily living felt but I enjoyed the large city benefits, so I started looking around for 500k cities with programming jobs and settled on Edinburgh.

I moved here with my partner 8 years ago. We were both just finished university when we moved so we were starting fresh no matter where we moved and both had jobs lined up when we moved. It took us probably 4-6 months to line everything up, and moving was literally buying a £19 ojr way flight and a trip to the local job center (as we're Irish were unaffected by the brexit rules). We love it here, and it would take some life changing events for us to move.

Reprocessing just reduces the amount of waste. As far as I know, France is not doing the next step, "use modern reactor designs that actually clean up old fuel from light water reactors."

Conventional nuclear reactors are limited in "burnup," the amount of fissile fuel they manage to fission before neutron poisons shut down the reaction. Reprocessing removes the neutron poisons so you can fission more of the fuel. (Some of the waste products of fission are neutron poisons, meaning they soak up neutrons so they can't trigger fission reactions.)

Even after reprocessing, the bulk of the long-term radioactivity comes from plutonium and other transuranics (elements heavier than uranium). Those are made when uranium (or heavier) atoms absorb neutrons without fissioning. Reprocessing doesn't help remove those, but advanced reactors can fission those just fine. They can also fission U238, which is the bulk of nuclear waste (though not really radioactive by itself).

What's left after all that is just the fission products, which is about 1% of conventional reactor waste. Encase them in glass, bury them, and they'll be back to the radioactivity of the original ore in about 300 years.
Finland pauses Moderna's Covid jab for younger men over risks
I don't think it's an absurd comparison. Nuclear is so safe and always get replaced with fossil fuels when a plant is decommissioned. The anti-nuclear sentiment is therefore detached from the reality of how safe it is relative to how damaging the inevitable alternative is, in the same way that anti-vaxxers are detached from the reality of the vaccine/virus trade-off.
Not very deadly, luckily yes. But cleaning up the accident has been expensive.
Yes, that is why I asked; I definitely see the issues with it. It would make a major difference though...
Hyundai has already racked up a million miles on hydrogen trucks in service, and there are on the order of 100,000 fuel cell forklifts being used every day. I'm not really sure what there is to be skeptical about. The US has 330GWh of hydrogen storage operating today, and the technology is 40 years old at this point. It's also a solved problem at vehicle scale. The missing piece was always cheap excess electricity, which we only have recently thanks to renewables.

I've come around to this view, too. Also like names, the best solution is to avoid using them for analysis. Run them through an address geocoding service and store the coordinates next to the address. Use the original address for sending mail or filling out forms, and coordinates for analysis.

Unless cleaning, parsing, and geocoding addresses is one of your core business values, let somebody else do it. It's a lot of work that's never really finished. Find a good service, hand them your garbage addresses, and feel confident they'll do better than you could.

There aren’t many tax schemes in the world where earning $1 more incurs > $1 in tax. Ironically it’s more likely to happen if you’re poor, and a gain in income causes you to lose social support or other benefits.
Ah come on, the reason there is not more nuclear in most countries has nothing to do with the anti-nuclear lobby, but is simple economics. It's hilarious that somehow anti-nuclear groups are supposed to have so much more lobbying power than some of the largest corporations in the world, that's almost on the same level as anti-climate change conspiracy theory groups who say that this is all made up because some scientists want to get grant money.
Ha! What are you talking about? That comment was in response to a question about differences between the countries.

The USA is a 3rd world country because we allow people to literally and figuratively rot on the street. There are many others of course...

When you elect your judges those judges will tend to:

Really? Are you aware of any alternative that actually works well?

I've been trying to move to OSM but so far i haven't found any usable alternative that actually gets and has good coverage of Japanese addresses in Kanji/hiragana as well as romaji. Apple Maps is way behind Google here (and I find Apple Maps otherwise quite usable in Europe).

Apart from in-car navigators (with terrible UI, at least the ones I tried so far) I'm not aware of even domestic alternatives that are usable. All my Japanese friends use Google Maps.

It's not that they don't count. They count just as much as air pollution, heat stroke or hypothermia, from fossil fuels and expensive or unreliable energy.

Nuclear has costs, yes. Weigh them up against the costs of every other alternative, rather than singling them out.
About the bit regarding you possibly commuting from Paris to London for work, I'm curious - how would that even work? Would you go through customs every morning/evening? Has anyone here done this?
From the father comment, that was what you took away from his message?

> "People are generally more relaxed to the point that it annoyed me for years. I attribute this to the lack of any concept of 'hustle' and not being worried about dying in poverty. I think a huge amount of the American personality comes from a subconscious anxiety over how precarious we live."

I think this was the bigger driver over his personal perspective of living in Europe vs the USA, though having beer readily accessible every where is certainly a boon but not the differentiator.

> Solar makes up 2 % or world electricity.

...in 2018. It's 2021 already. In 2020 solar made up something like 3.2% (https://www.worldenergydata.org/world-electricity-generation...). That alone is an increase of 0.6% per year. Even if nothing changed about PV buildup, it would still be headed for 15% in 2040. This rate is likely to increase, though.
