"Teeming with life" doesn't mean you really want to live there. Animals with shorter lifespans have less of a problems with the cancer risk, I'll grant you that. There may even be some animals occasionally dying from radiation poisoning (having wandered through the wrong parts too often) and nobody would notice.

I'm simple that way. Stuff that can kill me right now is a lot scarier to me than stuff that will raise the average temperature over the next few decades. I'd also prefer most of the governments in the world not to have ready access to fissile or even large amounts of radioactive material, just as a general precaution.

I don't understand this "we'd have to allow developing countries" argument. How do people in developed countries allow or stop developing countries with corrupt/inefficient governments from doing whatever they want? If they can afford it, accept the risks and have the knowledge and physical requirements, how does anyone stop them?
Hey,
Parallelism can solve a subset of CI performance issues, but in our experience, it tends to increase complexity and not improving performance that much.

Regarding security, just like the default GitHub Action runners, BuildJet for GitHub Actions isolates each job in its own VM, with no shared states between jobs. The virtualization layer is based on Linux KVM, VMs are NATed behind a shared IP address, and the host machine runs all disks on full disk encryption. We will put a full security concept out on our website at a later stage.

All laws and rules of a society are compulsions if you want to read it that way. Stopping at a red light, removing ones shoes at the airport, not going the other way on a one-way street, headlights turned on in the dark, stopping for pedestrians .... these are all compulsions and public safety measures. I see the covid vaccines (now that they have been so extraordinarily tested) as benignly ... I don't see why words such as 'compulsion' and 'crime' even enter the picture.
You get access to our merchant extraction feature which means for a given transaction description, we clean out the aspects unrelated to the merchant (description_clean), attempt to map it to a canonical merchant and, where we can, return a URL, logo / icon, and unique identifier for that merchant. Latency is very low (c200 ms).

There is a rate limit of 1 call per minute. While we provide more enrichments in our paid tiers we hope that smaller Fintechs in the validation stage can leverage this endpoint in production to build merchant based logic and enhance their transaction feed.
It took SPAs something like 5 years of popularity to get to a place where they are basically fine. I‘m thinking of things like routing, open new tab, back button working, back button state/scroll restoration, sane loading indicators, accessibility, keyboard interaction and feeling generally snappy+reliable. If a movie theater creates their website using next.js today, I probably won‘t notice or mind. A few years ago, when that kind of website went SPA, it made me shudder.

If this style gains traction, are we in for the same range of teething issues for a few years?
Sorry, I didn't realize that was a French word. The equivalent in English would be "curriculum".
From the nuclear and chemical pollution from burning coal and other fossil fuels? Probably not. Nor the impacts of climate change for millennia to come.
Even if we were to take everything you have said at face value - which I don't - none of it supports the frankly absurd statement "In some countries Covid-19 has raised life expectancy".

Also, you cannot expect us to simultaneously take it seriously and not take it seriously, so cut it out with the "casual semi-humorous" stuff. Either it is true or it is not.

This is a topic where spreading wrong information can cause a great deal of harm, so please be more careful about the things you assert.
It's not a case of them having no idea but that the instrumentation effort necessary to map out where water was relative to neutron flux sources in the corium would be hugely expensive and serve no practical benefit to safety. So unless some EU grant lets a uni team spend a few million euro getting equipment in there to come to be a clearer understanding that results in the same overall answer of whether or not it's a new safety risk ("no"), it's a curiosity.

Managing neutron flux in a deliberately designed structure via water immersion is what nuclear operators do every day on water-moderated reactors. But the core is no longer in a designed state, it's a combination of portions of the fuel mixed with all the other metals and bits of concrete from the lower portion of the reactor.

The people monitoring know basically what it's doing, but they give considered answers like ""Based on predictive estimates, it is expected that in the future there will be an increase in the neutron flux density, which will be determined by the process of moisture loss" -- Ukraine's Institute For Safety Problems Of Nuclear Power Plants

You mis-spelled speculative tokens.
This is.. true for artifacts entering the earth relative to the solar systems, aka meteorites that are already circling the sun at moderate speed - aka the earth on its orbit moves into them.

This does not hold for interstellar objects, which may come crashing into our spiralling course from any angle. Even for those, the likelihood for a "frontal" collision is slightly increased though.

Question: If a object comes at just the right angle.. could it essentially make a hover-touch down landing (on a planet with not much atmosphere)? As it would have not much motion relative to the planet system (okay, rotation should be very little) and gravity would add speed..
I do think they should be paid what they're worth... and if they're the only person in the whole company that can fix the code they wrote in a language nobody else knows, then they're indispensable and can charge any salary they want.

Databases are interesting because they were the forefront of computing when it was invented, and they still are today. The computer science sorting algorithms and trees (and trie) go directly to how good (for all the different kinds of definitions of good) a database is.

MongoDB threw out a ton of history in order to invent a different wheel, and it's faster for interesting reasons, but it's also for a different era than single monolith computing (aka Oracle DB). That doesn't mean MongoDB is appropriate for all situations, but that a fundamental precept of computing has changed. Used to be, there was room for maybe five computers in the whole world. Today, my computer has multiple virtual computers inside of it and they are treated as cattle, not pets. The work being redone is because (sometimes) the work has been invalidated by newer experiments.

We're going to have to "redo" a lot work once dark matter is found as well.
Its was flung out of a exploding sun.. so the radioactive decay of the supernova material started 4.4 billion years ago?

I once tried some binary options just for fun. Crypto were the worst tickers to bet on. At the same time crypto seems among the best assets for the classic "buy on lows, hold forever" strategy. Why does anybody bother betting/scalping on crypto?
It's always been a problem. Religions and governments have historically banned or heavily regulated gambling, going back at least as far as Ancient Rome, Ancient China, and Ancient Egypt.

The modern problem, perhaps, is that now we have new forms of gambling (crypto! day trading! spread betting apps!) which are perhaps not as obvious, are not as visible in society, and fall outside of existing regulations?
If the server admin was dumb enough to allow executables on $HOME, or anywhere where the user has write access.
I disagree.

I'm reminded of the position people took with apartheid South Africa. People condemned and boycotted SA due to the extreme problems there.

That didn't mean that they were hypocrites then because so many other terrible problems existed then around the world and many continue to this day. It was a particular inflammatory problem that captured the mindshare at that time.

Using antisemitism as the go-to reason here seems like a cop-out.

A lot of the HN are familiar with balancing work for employers with time clawed back for side projects and startups. We do this a lot more on the level though, by only taking a enough contract work to make ends meet rather than what I can only argue is somewhere between contract violation and fraud.

This person is to be despised. Not because they don't want to work, but because they want to cheat the system. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

They're making it worse for everyone that would like to work from home rather than a crowded office post-pandemic every time they get caught (or flaunt it in a news article). This article will get pointed at when managers want to bring employees back into the office.

If you want a better work-life balance then that's a fair decision to make, but not at the expense of everyone else.
I think the devastating problem today is that because investing and trading can be done responsibly, that all forms of investing and trading are ok even if it’s nothing more than gambling. People see a few success stories like DFV and it becomes a new American dream: get rich quick by shrewdly allocating a bit of capital.

But most people are just being fooled by randomness.
Their tourism score for Queensland, Australia is completely back-to-front. The climate is tropical/sub-tropical so peak tourism season is winter when it's warm, clear skies and no rain. Summertime is storm season: muggy, cloudy and heavy rain.

Summer is also stinger season so you can't swim north of Cairns without head-to-toe covering due to the box jellyfish risk.

> Your argument is actually not about freedom at all, but about exceptionalism, entitlements, and excluding yourself from any responsibility or duty towards ensuring that the priviledges you enjoy are also made available to others.

The technical term I prefer is "basic human rights". Like right to work, right to freedom of movement, right to associate, etc, etc. That might be a bit entitled I suppose.

It also seems to me that many of those who advertise for coming back to the office have a family at home and are fed up with being around them all day long. Let's be honest - most men are bored and annoyed by their wives and children. It's much more pleasant to feel im important at work, get raises and have maybe an affair or two going on.

Why use a solar powered plane and not a solar powered airship?
That seems like it would be difficult data to gather. Reduced availability certainly can reduce demand by itself, somebody might give up if the thing isn't available after a while. I, for instance, would love to upgrade if I could get ahold of one of the things. If I still can't walk into a store and get one two months from now then I'll just wait it out another generation.

The changes above weren't caused by "best practices changing via new information", they were caused by political and ideological imperatives.

I mean, seriously. Protests are incredibly deadly. Not BLM protests, those are fine. No, now BLM has run its course protests are illegal again. Obviously that isn't anything based on "new information", and nor have the other changes been so motivated.

Easy there big fellow. Bitcoin itself is certainly and undenyably a huge problem in and of itself, as you well know. Its horrible environmental impact is a huge problem, as are its effects on the mental health of the people who go online and shill it and rationalize it while ignoring and denying and marginalizing its environmental impact.
its not enough that all social media is controlled and sanitized, you want even to control private conversations as well? get a grip.

The history teaches us: If any system isn't hardened against something, we can assume it's possible. If Git server isn't specifically hardened against that, it might still be tricked to update the file by adversary client. Or attacker can temporarily add hooks that will replace the file on server. Or integration testing system might have write access to the server repo.

When people try to convert me to Bitcoinology now I just smile and in my head I replace [shill token of the day] with “the ponies” as it saves me debating with them and we both get to leave with a smile on our face.

“[The ponies] keep making stellar returns year after year. It’s still early to make money on [the ponies]. [The ponies] are the future of wealth.” etc.

“[The ponies] are going to the moon” is my personal favourite, because what a nice thought that is.

Anyway, next time someone asks about cryptocurrency just tell them you already know it’s all about spacefaring horses and wish them well while you walk safely away.
They’re finally copying the best designed MOBA that was unfortunately late to the party, Heroes of the Storm. The lack of cross-team chat greatly reduces toxicity compared to League and DOTA even though MOBAs as a whole tend to be a bit toxic. Blizzard also put in some other mechanics like team experience instead of individual experience so that you don’t have one person at a much higher level raging at the rest of the team to “get good”
Yeah, you're right, there is a tool called act[1] that lets users test the GitHub Actions CI runs toward their local machine. The implementation looks very similar to GitHub Actions official runner, e.g use the identical provisioning scripts[2]. It is a very nice tool but serves a different purpose than us.

Regarding general testability with GitHub Actions, I'd recommend checking out the tmate action[3], which lets you debug your CI run with SSH.

Not a problem? Ah. From 1946 to 1982, 14 countries buried nuclear waste in 80 places in the ocean, without any more surveillance since 1995 (the detected radioactivity was low). Some liquid waste was just released there, some barrels are not protected, some are. In total, they are as radioactive as 3 Fukushima. No operation is planned to pick the old barrels up, because "most of them would not support a manipulation".

We bury them under forests, so they become a lost territory, the forest is filled with cameras and drones. Not a problem for the inhabitants? Their life is also changed by the invasion of militaries and cops in the closest village (Bure). When we bury them underground, then the drinking water is at risk, some territory is closed… this impacts people.

Then we are thinking in sending the waste to space? Wow O_o And what do I not know?

Right now, a lot of Bitcoin is held at exchanges, which you can consider an IOU. However, it's still real Bitcoin reflected on-chain. As a user, you basically bought your Bitcoin from the supply of real Bitcoin the exchange holds in aggregated wallets. Should the exchange run short in supply, they buy real Bitcoin from other parties. It's all on-chain. Exchange wallets are well known and actively tracked.

Theoretically, an institution could let you buy Bitcoin that doesn't exist or which they don't own. This strategy would fall apart in mere weeks.

Say there's a new bull run and people are mass buying Bitcoin, for about 50 billion USD per week. You, the exchange, don't actually have this Bitcoin, yet in your books you pretend that you do. The customer is none the wiser. Your revenue is 50 billion USD.

Bitcoin doubles in USD value and customers are now mass selling and/or withdrawing their Bitcoin (which you made up). So now you have to either payout 100 billion USD or actively buy real BTC at its high price, which just doubled. Unless you have an additional 50 billion USD at hand, your exchange collapses and goes bankrupt.

Can an exchange sell slightly more BTC than they own? Technically, yes. Can they do many multiples of actual supply? No.
You can only confirm they've offended after examining the evidence, which the DA refuses to do. Arrest isn't proof.

A good way to think about it would be "useful" energy vs waste energy. The energy used by a chiller to cool a cellar is useful energy. The heat (energy) that is removed from the cellar and rejected to the atmosphere is waste energy.

The defendant was stealing useful energy and returning waste energy.
It's good to know the underlying low-level terminal commands that make this work like this article explains. But I guess most people will use a terminal abstraction library that has a higher level API to move the cursor, clean the screen etc.

Terminals are complex beasts and they can do powerful things. If you're interested in this, I can recommend reading the source code for Tmux, JLine3 and some other libraries shell formatting or TUI libraries.

Like I said, It becomes harder and harder to avoid it and that worries me. I used Laravel because anyone could just hop in and be productive.. I've asked myself why I'm not using just Symfony already, because I think Laravel is something that it's not anymore, or wasn't ever.
