Nitpick: in the Fukushima incident, one worker died of radiation poisoning and 273 (elderly) people died of evacuation-related stress.

Still negligible compared to the deaths from coal burning. And as you say, the Fukushima reactors are much worse than current designs like Hualong One.
To Microsoft. You're basically becoming a slave by joining the foundation, agreeing to have them own your projects.
The fact that they are changing to include some vectorization options by default for -O2 suggests otherwise. In particular SLP vectorization should have been there all along. Every graphics library 2d and 3d defines vector classes that will easily go faster with the simplest vectorization.

Arguments around code size have been largely irrelevant for quite some time, so long as performance increases.

If I put on a tinfoil hat, I'd suspect Intel was at least an influence. They're the ones adding AVX, AVX2, 512 and providing their own compiler to take advantage of them, while crippling AMD parts. That is until they switched to LLVM.

I maintain that, given how the majority of tax rebates and financial aid is still going to fossil fuels, unless we kick people out of that option for good, they will latch to the last dollar of subsidy or political donation until human life on Earth is beyond hope. The only way to kickstart changes and investments is to put executives in front a judge for the mass murders that are already well documented and be clear that they will be held responsible for the millions of deaths related to unusual climate events.

How did we stop populist from legally raising to position of power against after the 1940s? Nuremberg and Tokyo trials. Climate disruption is a much bigger threat and needs a gesture at least as big.

It’s not trivial to setup a presence in another country. You have to understand and follow their unique labor laws, find legal representation/advice, conform to tax laws, find a way to equitably pay employees compared to peers outside the country. You have to figure out how you account for profits between the entities (they are legally different countries in different companies). What does it mean too off you have any kind of profit sharing or equity that employees hold? How is that accounted for across N countries employment and tax laws? In a fair way?

There’s a lot of voodoo too you have to figure out. Lots goes unspoken about how exactly you do these things people are too afraid to write down given legal liabilities. Or it’s just assumed to be common knowledge that nobody has to explain. Sadly you have to find someone “in the know” who can sort of nod and wink at you what to do. An example of this is setting up a bank account when you can’t easily show up in person…

It took my last company about a year to setup a UK subsidiary. It took 3-6 months to do the same in Germany. It occupied some of the smartest people in HR and operations, distracting them from other priorities.

Why not a contractor?

Well yes, this is obviously the easiest solution. But it’s dangerous if you intend to treat them as employees. The IRS in the US gives you some guidance[1]. Contractor route can mean they have to spend months without a contract, that they can’t participate in any equity arrangements, you can’t provide benefits like vacation. It might not be very appealing to many…

While I don't disagree in substance, it's the order that twigged me. My impression has been that later rounds (B+) are all about risk attenuation like hiring steady hands to manage linear growth once the product is proven vs. early rounds (Seed to A+) are for PoC and scale, whereas I think of an IPO or private equity round is essentially an endogenous-innovation-death, and the company at that stage is just about optimizing existing cash flows, with any non-linear upside coming from reinvesting those flows to buy new startups.

Market rates for consultants are also basically double or more what they are for employees, so market rate for a founder should be measured against the median 250k-$1m a company would have to budget to get someone to do the equivalent job of a founder/dev/product-manager from a consulting firm, etc. If as an investor, you have put in $5m to a company you want to grow with an 18-24-month runway to the next round, that the founder is paid 2%, and not 10% of that is probably not positively correlated to the success of the venture.

Pre-revenue, I sympathize with minimum survival low founder salary as it's just a flyer at that point, but the moment there is revenue involved and now you have to grow and scale, founders could be taking a percentage of investment as the price of admission. Money managers who do almost nothing charge 2-3% to manage funds and rake 20-30% of any profit.

Experimentally, I would propose that a founder with skills who is building a tech product should be taking 10% commission and management fee on any investment as direct comp and 20% of the return on it at the very least. Maybe these numbers aren't right, but comparing what a founder does to what a fund manager does should yield some principles for evaluating founder comp.

If as an investor you allocated $10m to a hedge fund for 5 years, you'd be paying 2-300k/year to the manager and lose at least as much to inflation if it were in cash, and then if the next valuation was 3-5x, you'd be returning 6-10m to the founder for your 20-40m net profit. Seems like a lot, but compared to index funds, bonds, or cash that doesn't have that growth profile, that's still a very good deal.

Anyway, just thinking out loud about it, but incentives alignment is a really interesting problem.
I'm not saying the designs lack problems. Rather, I'm saying that they have addressed the problems you're talking about and are potentially considerably safer than old reactor tech.

>In the near future, storage will compete, as iron-air batteries come online, and long-distance transmission.

and if this doesn't happen? You're willing to risk our survival?

>Each dollar spent elsewhere, whether on building or patching nuke plants, or patching or fueling coal plants, brings climate disaster nearer.

You're equating coal plants with nuclear? Wow, you have quite a cognitive bias there. Nuclear plants have 0 carbon emissions, they don't contribute to global warming once constructed, and construction doesn't generate enough carbon to nullify that advantage.

Renewables can't meet our needs unless new technologies are developed. Nuclear CAN in its present state, and can do so even better if technological progress is made. Both must be pursued.
You talk me a new false friend in Spanish, so thank you!

I think the party is in favor of hypersonic missiles. They often do disagree with cultural output that may question or diminish the supremacy of the CCP.
Perhaps that's why they fail? They are trying to play by the same rules, on the same field, with the same types of people. A well-funded, fast-growth startup that hired from a pool of people who don't think and believe the same things as the big-tech hires might do better at addressing the problems that plague big tech.
But he wasn’t foreign, is my whole point. He was born in Britain. Or if not, passed the whole naturalisation process. Apparently he’s indistinguishable from other British people. Oh except for the “Somali heritage”.

I feel like the focus on “Somali” is meant to deflect any responsibility on domestic matters. This guy apparently was born, bred, schooled in the UK. Maybe he was radicalised by hardcore Somali-heritage islamists (if that’s a thing), but then it’s a failure of UK domestic policy for creating an environment, or cause, for them to organise, and UK domestic security for preventing this.

I’m not saying this is easy, rather that this is where the onus lies. But when we say “ah he’s Somali”, suddenly it’s someone else’s fault.

When a white British guy, with a name like Gary or Shaun stabs a teacher, say, you get stories from people who went to school with Gary or Shaun. He was an alright guy but a bit extreme when angry, maybe. Or no one would see it coming, he was a quiet guy. Why did no one see it coming? Ah well you can’t prevent everything.

But this guy is Somali, it’s their fault. I mean, ok he’s British but you know what I mean. Different British.
Nice. Framework is super exciting, but I hope they release more cad files for the laptop so third parties can make e.g. keyboards and motherboards. Would be a bummer if their business model is lock-in on everything but the expansion cards.

This isn't true. There are many countries that have had nuclear reactors for decades and have no nuclear weapons.

Says it is good from about three feet away.
This is a key point.

The US especially needs to solve the construction generates corruption problem before it can have sane nuclear power.

It needs to do this for public transit as well. But the thing with solar is you can ramp it up and then worry about how to store the cyclical excess and this means you can make the storage mechanism competitive.
This assumes that nuclear power plants aren't getting any safer.
Probably would be the same as playing against alpha zero without knowing and wondering how every good move you play seems to leave you worse off.

1. Right, but unless you want a circular argument, the “better” you are missing is the ability to separate the two. You should be able to type a note featuring all the characters on the keyboard without unexpected side-effects, this doesn’t seem like a lot to ask.

2. And yet the inventor of the thing repeatedly gets it wrong.

3. Visual editing here meaning more WYSIWYG than the inclusion of images, but it raises a good point - the bounds of what we consider a document is rapidly outstripping what markdown can comfortably capture. Tools like Notion are blurring the line between what used to be thought of as “text” and “embed” and are making great user experiences by doing so.

4. Honestly, in this context (document editing) I think of ClarisWorks as a more powerful tool than any Markdown editor I’ve ever seen.

A ClarisWorks with Obsidian-like features would be a rocket ship for the mind. Limiting Obsidian to Markdown is like using diesel to fuel the rocket.
What does “peak performance” mean? Doesn’t that depend on what you perform?

Your new example makes me wonder: if I can intentionally conditionally bring variables into existence with the walrus operator, what's the motivation behind the SyntaxError in my statement above? I maintain my belief that the real issue here is, readability aside, if blocks do not implement a new scope, which has always been a problem in the language. The walrus operator just gives you new ways to trip over that problem.

From the PEP:

> An assignment expression does not introduce a new scope. In most cases the scope in which the target will be bound is self-explanatory: it is the current scope. If this scope contains a nonlocal or global declaration for the target, the assignment expression honors that. A lambda (being an explicit, if anonymous, function definition) counts as a scope for this purpose.

I find this particularly strange and inconsistent:

lines = ["1"]

[(comment := line).startswith('#') for line in lines]

print(comment) # 1

[x for x in range(3)]
print(x) # NameError: name 'x' is not defined

Well, if statistics show that relatively more second generation somali immigrants do bad stuff than second generation japanese immigrants, that would be an interesting data point.

I live in the balkans... back in the time, there was a lot of crime commited by people from here all over rich european countries, and everyone knew that... the germans/french/swiss/... and we, the balkaners did.

So yeah, considering the amount of somali immigrants and the number of native brits there, and the MP getting killed by a somali, what is it, that makes somalis more likely to do an act of terrorism? Is it something that they 'learned' from their families? Friends? Church/mosque? Why are immigrants overrepresented in crimes like that? Same for us balkaners... why do more Željkos rob banks than Hans's in germany?

This is a thing that should be looked over, and not just ignored, because things like these are not a one-time thing, but have been happening all over europe (and i'm talking about both terrorist attacks by islamists, and mostly money&drugs-related crimes by people from balkans).

As a framework owner, this is nice to see. I have yet to take the plunge on Nix (been happy with PopOS on mine), and wouldn't without Bluetooth support, but it's good to know it's possible and relatively painless.

I'm hoping to start with nix+home-manager at some point, maybe on top of PopOS; anyone have experience with that setup?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like you’re not really claiming people say “your experience does not exist” or “you’re a bad programmer who doesn’t get it.” It sounds like this is a bit of exaggeration for effect?

I suspect you’re talking about something I’ve seen, which is people will say that your experience in other languages isn’t directly applicable to writing code in Go because it’s a different language and ecosystem.

This seems like something newcomers need to hear sometimes, and it’s also somewhat irritating if in your case it doesn’t seem like that kind of issue. When generic advice for beginners gets misdirected then it can seem insulting, but I usually just try to remember that they don’t know me and beginner mistakes are worth checking for. I can choose not to be insulted.

Getting people to actually hear what you’re saying when they’re pattern-matching on common questions can be difficult. I think we should still assume good faith, though, and “gaslighting” implies malice.
That’s the kicker. These flats legally cannot be sold because they are unsafe! Not rented out.

So unless you can afford to abandon them, there’s no option but to pray and stay. Heck, you might be paying a mortgage on it!

Of course if you are a council house renter, as many inhabitants are, then you can’t move out anyway, you’re there because you have no other options.

Apple Event Next Monday: “Unleashed”
A slight tangent: I know I'm not the only one who considers the old control panels to be far superior to the new ones, even if Microsoft disagrees.

The new UIs won't allow you to keep open the Bluetooth config panel at the same time as the Windows Update config panel, for instance, as they share the One True Config Window. You can only view one at a time. A little ironic for an operating system named for its ability to run multiple UIs at once.

Fortunately many of the old config UIs are still there on Windows 10, especially for more advanced points of configuration.

I imagine the old UIs are also more resource-efficient, for what that's worth, following the usual trend with UI toolkits.
The event camera has no frame rate, essentially. Each photon sensor fires asynchronously. You should look into some of the applications of event cameras, they’re near magical for some things like high velocity movements and such. They have other problems though, not least of which is inaccessibility.
Nothing really is the "best bet" in this. The correct solution is to hedge your bets by betting on just about every possible solution.

This seems like a "fallacy of the option spectrum". Of course we don't try cold fusion or discredited options. Trying options based on how credit they seem is a reasonable approach but "try it 'cause it's a thing" isn't argument.
Setting up a VPN on a PIX or on a Cisco router is so insanely complicated that there was an entire Cisco Academy course devoted only to that.
It’s not a young idea though. The basic technology for p2p networks has been around for decades. DHTs, voting, vouching, etc were all got academia topics like 10-20 years ago. It’s just engineering skills at this point.

I remember popcorntime was as responsive as Netflix at the time it came out and it scared the shit out of the MPAA so they killed it with prejudice.

IPFS doesn’t have an excuse for sucking beyond a basic lack of engineering effort.

HTML: Opportunity, Disruption, or Wedge
That is going to be very hard to do given that in most companies IT Admins and even software devs are not really in control to make security and other choices, we present options to business leaders who make the choice.

My guess that if you look at the vast majority of security incidents it is not due to negligence on the part of an IT Worker but instead due the business choices to prioritize some new feature, or performance, or anything else over security.

If you put the liability on the head if the IT guy/gal who has been saying "hey that system is insecure" only to be ignored by the business well that is a real good way worsen the shortage in qualified people.

I sure as hell am not going to assume legal liability over systems I do not really have control over.

One thing we have got to change in our strategy - allowing Office documents to be rendered very well by other peoples browsers is one of the most destructive things we could do to the company.

We have to stop putting any effort into this and make sure that Office documents very well depends on PROPRIETARY IE capabilities.

Anything else is suicide for our platform. This is a case where Office has to avoid doing something to destory Windows.

Likewise this love of DAV in Office/Exchange is a huge problem. I would also like to make sure people understand this as well.
