As should everyone, there is no reason to build new nuclear plants in 2021 especially since there is STILL no acceptable solution for the waste problem.

It's cheaper, faster and safer to build renewables. The only explanation for the strange amount of unsupported pro-nuclear posts on HN and Reddit is shilling.
I'm curious if there will there be a possibility that targeted ads may be regulated, especially if alternative models like this and DDG's approach are successful enough.
I thought it was generally considered good practice to put extension methods into static classes in their own file. So like `FooExtensions.cs` if you are writing extensions for the `Foo` class.

I would consider this the same: Project should have a `GlobalUsings.cs` file.

Does C# have any linters available that could enforce such a conventions?
This is what I’ve settled on. Implicit usings for the SDK are great but otherwise I don’t want this in any code base I work on.
That was already the case. This does not change that issue.

Using the example of Console.Read from the article, in C# 9, you could do `Func<int> read = Console.Read;`. Now, if someone adds an overload for the Read method to Console, that C# 9 code will break.

In C# 10, that doesn't change. What changes is that we don't have to specify `Func<int>`. We can just use `var`.
Excellent sanity check, and I'll add another calculation for comparison.

449 nuclear reactors in the world [0]

2 disasters leading to large exclusion zones

average area of those exclusion zones 1300 square miles [1]

average exclusion zone per reactor (very roughly) 5.8 square miles

15.0 square kilometres

So solar panels use up about 4 times as much space as "average" nuclear reactors (not including the relatively small area used by the plant itself[2]), but of course the value of land with solar panels on is much higher than radioactively contaminated land.

The binary VScode you install is different than an open source build. Microsoft doesn't want OS builds using the same package registery and I assume various tooling iirc
Agreed. I actually think China might be able to lead on climate in a matter of decades even though they aren’t on a good trajectory. They don’t have to worry about anti-nuclear activists. Also, a dictatorship does have the benefit of not needing to wrangle so many people to make a decision like this.
You should probably get them insured then you don't need to worry much about theft. It's not very expensive - like €10-15/month for a good bike.

In all seriousness, what a fractally awful idea. Hey anyone with any amount of reputation capital, get in on the academic grift!

Instead of an emphasis on educational outcomes, let's extend the culture of buying prestige in higher education. The existence of this place makes me want to burn my house down.
There is Python support in some EDA frameworks, but especially in the digital domain, Tcl is still the gold standard. On the one side this means there are tons of Tcl code around and any experienced engineer is well versed in Tcl.
Also, electrical engineers are usually very focussed on electric engineering. While being being very intelligent, they are often not into programming, so keeping things very simple is an advantage to them.

Think about patents. If you get a patent, you are legally protected from people stealing your patented idea for the lifetime of the patent. However, in exchange for that protection, you must make the idea public. In exchange for the protection of law, a patent holder sacrifices the protection of secrecy.

A simmiliar model could be applied to copyright, in exchange for legal protections, you must forgo technical protections.
Where have you been in Europe or the US? I have family on both sides of the Atlantic and know both continents quite well from personal experiences. The crime is letting people die from preventable illness because of unwillingness to provide universal healthcare, and a segregated system that makes higher education difficult to attain and keeps poor people in poverty.

On your second point I wholeheartedly disagree, I’ve been in small villages in Serbia, and I know people from there very well. I also grew up 10 minutes from the Michigan boarder and have friends and family there too. From my experience, the poorest people in Serbia are less at risk of abject poverty and dying from preventable diseases than the poorest in Michigan. Sure if you look at the average salary for someone in Michigan vs someone in Serbia, Serbia is way lower, but if you actually look at quality of life factors for the bottom 10% of both those places I’d bet Serbia pulls way ahead.

Edit: and I just use Serbia as an example because it’s one of the poorest countries in Europe and I still think it’s better than a lot of US states in how it helps its poor. When you look at health, safety, and educational outcomes of middle income and rich European countries they are often far ahead of the US averages. Christ, not everything is about maximizing GDP. Look at the average lifespan of an EU citizen that’s almost 10 years longer than an American citizen.

They have serious funding, so they have more than nothing. Given the investors don't seem to be naive idiots, I'd say they are making a calculated bet and there might be more to this than wishful thinking.

I'm a year-round non-e-bike commuter in Oregon. I love e-bikes but until you can ride without getting soaked it'll be successful only part of the year in most of the US. We need something between the e-bike and golf-cart style EVs to fill the gap, some kind of sophisticated fairing or a 3 wheel format that isn't super dorky.
To a point - if you're going to have labeling you'll already need some kind of regulation and enforcement. Seems to me like if you're going to set that up, you could just turn the knobs a little farther and make the 'bad' choices cost 20% more than the 'good', for example.

I support the efforts to make cities more friendly to cyclist traffic but the increased popularity of both ebikes and electric scooters in downtown areas has made life as a pedestrian and a motorist stressful, especially around closing time. All the things that annoy me about cyclists (running stop signs when driving in the street and driving on the sidewalk are my two biggest annoyances) have gotten worse.

Cycling advocates like to talk about sharing the road but I've yet to see any sort of acknowledgement that there's plenty of bad behavior on the part of cyclists that needs some curbing as well.
If you make and sell NFTs you are smart. If you buy and hold them you are a fool. [1]

In the end, no one actually cares about disrupting the art collecting market. It's a passion project for zero people. Most hyped NFTs are based on memes and if memes are famous for one thing, its making a big splash and disappearing forever. If they were an investment then their value should increase over time. I try to imagine 20 years from now, will owning a cryptopunk or bored ape make you relevant, or the equivalent of a boomer? "Back in my day all the cool people called themselves apes and used these expensive pictures. Ok granddad" New memes will always displace the old ones and NFT values will decay as the hype and relevance of their specific meme does.

That said, I don't think NFTs are quite ready to be thrown out as a technology but their current utilisation seems like a poor use case. I'm a proud right clicker - or would be if any of those NFTs were worth saving a copy of.

[1] some will definitely make money and be outliers who fuel the FOMO that burns everyone else
Not surprised. They are a lot cheaper, easier to own than a car in cities, and are a lot of fun to ride.

A loud contingent view them as a scourge, calling for ebikes to be banned, or otherwise licensed, registered, and insured, which would eliminate them as a common mode of transport. Most of the people I see riding them around here are high-school aged who probably don't care enough to deal with that. The next step up (moped) licensing requirements are more onerous than those of a car.
Absolutely Zillow overpaid, at least a lot of the time. However, part of that is because they apparently had a hard time getting people to accept their offer often enough, and so tweaked the algorithm to pay higher. This suggests that, if you pay the amount you can actually make money on in six months, you don't get very many people accepting your offer, because people don't know as much as Zillow knows about what's about to happen in the housing market.

Or, maybe, Zillow is just no good at predicting housing prices. But it's at least worth considering that, if they were actually reasonably good at it, they might have come to the conclusion that the only way to make money right now is to convince house sellers that their home is about to be worth less than it seems to be now, which isn't likely to be something they wanted to try to do. Maybe they're just incompetent, but they might be competent and have nonetheless come to the same conclusion that Zillow Offers needed to be shut down.

p.s. thanks for the great links, but I would like to point out that the St Louis Fed link goes up to July 1, which leaves open the possibility that Zillow saw something in the last 1-2 months different from what came before.

I have been asking this of colleagues informally for decades now, but I will do it again: why is it that, if the majority of best practices for security are identical (ie "disable these settings asap"), are the default settings the way they are? And what would it take to change them to be secure by default?
Relatively tiny budget is not a sign of weakness. The history is teemed with well-founded ventures beaten by much less funded ones.
Not 'to trade' but to enter the small world of HFT. Many, many industries have capital barriers to entry, I don't really see the big deal. Just as I cannot start an HFT firm, I also cannot start a toy factory or restaurant without sufficient capital. If you actually look at how much money HFT firms earn relative to the finance sector as a whole, they're pretty small fish. They just pay a lot because they have relatively few staff.
Yes. Indeed it is pretty but this is just rich people jacking each other off.
The vaporware lives on.
As much as I appreciate the freedom e-bikes provide to people who wouldn't otherwise venture outside, without proper cycling infrastructure, e-bikes are quickly becoming a serious hazard to pedestrians. As a long-time runner who is usually struck by at least one cyclist on the sidewalk per year, e-bikes are in a completely different class. The other day, a kid on an e-bike was careening down a bridge while my kids and I were running up. I'm a decent judge of speed, and the cyclist was definitely going over 40 km/h with dog walkers and other children nearby. I didn't do the math, but that's a great deal of kinetic energy to transfer to a pedestrian (I assume e-bikes are heavier, and most cyclists going that fast are dedicated cyclists on the road). I caught up to another e-bike at a stop light and asked him why he wasn't on the road, "Too dangerous," was his answer - sadly typical. A non-trivial number of cyclists are adopting the "Uber" mindset - break the law until laws or infrastructure changes, but with complete disregard for fellow citizens in the meantime. I've expressed my concerns several times on local biking forums (when a "cycling on the sidewalk doesn't hurt anyone" message is raised)- it's usually met with ridicule, anger and disbelief, but I experience it practically every day.
> The following global corporations have been awarded the 2021 inaugural Terra Carta Seal in recognition of their commitment to, and momentum towards, the creation of genuinely sustainable markets.

1) Seems like they're all companies that have noble commitments.

2) They don't seem that bad (tech and banks mostly)

3) Bad companies have the biggest potential for growth i suppose.
We also have voluminous amounts of cache and multicore processors that can decompress in cache faster than reading uncompressed data. The tech did need to catch up.
Better to learn to explore and build knowledge from the ground up than to repeat it back.

It is still good to know what's already known. But the teacher isn't the source for that. Google is. And there are skills for getting the most out of Google.

Those skills are teachable, as is the fact that Google isn't reality either.
Well... Funny enough. The person that our team of Spark engineers is cleaning up after was - a C++ dev. For some reason we, Spark engineers, had to rewrite his all Spark application into different components with relevant tech.

Thanks for generalizing Spark engineers to an insulting level, though.
>sub-$1000 regular bike.

Sounds expensive to me. I ride a Decathlon Triban 100 FB that cost me 150€ (new). Better than most 1K+ gravel bikes and not a target for thieves in Paris bc it's too common.
They also don’t last as long (miles-wise, possibly time-wise as well?), so you may have the same person buying multiple bikes over time when the first one wears out or breaks or is stolen. Usually for electric cars, the vehicle enters the used market and doesn’t leave (for the junkyard) until 15-20 years and 200,000 miles later.
>People are realizing that it is not fun to live in dense areas.

Sounds like you're assuming your personal preferences are the natural ones which "people" surely have by default.

I think Intel should regression-test its CPUs using the decades of demoscene productions out there, especially those in the extreme-size-optimisation categories; testing with almost exclusively "mainstream" compiler output is IMHO a bad idea and a step down the path to "warranty void if VLC is used" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7205759 )

I find it unfortunate that the combination of greed and failed oversight and responsibility by government to ensure people's rights, has essentially led to the wholesale destruction of the distributed and decentralized internet in the post-facebook era.

Ascribing non-malicious intentions to Shopify, it seems their success has equally gone to their heads as it has gone to all the other tech companies, who have been inexcusably allowed to accumulate power far beyond what should have ever been permitted.

We must start insisting on that people's rights simply cannot be abused because a corporate entity claims to have more rights to choose than a private person. The standard for antitrust should be that if there are no alternatives for legal products and services in an industry, it is a clear sign that a monopoly exists and the companies must be broken up or must fund competitors until a state of equilibrium and rights are restored.
LibriVox is a well-known project in this space that by and large focuses on worthwhile stuff, not pseudoscientific rubbish.
Internationally, it’s waiting for you after immigration and before customs in most places. (If you’re trying to smuggle something past customs, the case is much stronger if you’re caught with the bag, plus it's easier to do the inspections if they give you the bag before customs.)
I dispute at least some of that. R has more statistical packages, perhaps, but can't compete with Python in terms of sheer array of packages and developer mindshare in general. This is no different for data science, where major tools are either Python-only or are accessed in R only through Python (like Tensorflow).

R is also hardly more terse in my experience, though perhaps that depends on style; I'm a tidyverse fan but it's not particularly concise.

Finally ... RStudio. It's just okay. If you're willing to use a language-specific editor that may not get keybindings right (I hope you're not an emacs user), it works fine. I like the RMarkdown integration. I don't use it, though, and I don't feel like I'm missing that much.

BTW, you don't mention what actually does make R better than Python: lazy evaluation allowing something close to syntactical macros. You'll never get a magrittr or a dplyr in Python.
Understandable, but it's a matter of taste. For people who prefer a language with exception, it's good that there now exist a viable solution other than sticking to a language that might not fit their taste so well.

It seems to me that F# could get a bit more love from HN-style nerds. Obviously, it's more similar to C# than Golang, but specifically error handling can be done in much nicer way using the Result type.
> publicly shame someone who's asking to wash your car window for $1

I don't think this metaphor completely fits. A more apt metaphor might be someone telling you your tire pressure is too low when you know your tire pressure is perfectly appropriate for the given types of tires you have and climate you're at.

It's pretty annoying when my boss (or my boss's boss) ends up reading one of these emails and freaks out because they don't understand the severity of the problem. Usually when I see these emails they often are blasted to every email that can be found on the contact page, including things like sales channels. Explaining the context of security vulnerabilities that are irrelevant given our configuration is not a particularly fun or easy things to do to non-technical executives terrified of data breaches.

I heard it does not apply to all cantons, the Italian ones speeding is more OK.

All that being said I really dislike the US system where you can pass a police car driving 75 on the 101 and he doesn't care. There has to be some enforcement of the rules.

Nationalism was a secondary factor in WW1 (the elites failed in their alliances, and later used Nationalism as a recruiting tool, but it was not a driver), and was not related to Bosnia and Rwanda which were ethnic wars.

I think you have a misunderstanding of what the term 'Nationalism' means.
Maybe I misspoke, the identity is as secure as a password in a password keeper or authentication key.

I think it's analogous to a decentralized SSO (e.g. Google login, Apple ID login, etc.) that can be used as a source of identity without the service provider/smart contract writer needing to implement it themselves.

With Ethereum-style blockchains, this auth is built into the programming language itself. The msg.sender field is guaranteed to be consistent with the actual sender of a transaction. If it isn't, the computation that is ran will not be published to the blockchain.

This sort of auth infrastructure is not trivial to implement and you get it for free by deploying your service on blockchain. In addition, you get persistent storage for free. On top of that, smart contracts have common published interfaces. My IERC721 implementation will respond to the same calls as your IERC721 implementation. Standardized APIs is not really a thing on the normal Internet, but it's commonplace in web3.

EDIT: by "for free" I mean in terms of implementation and infrastructure work. The gas fees definitely are not free.

The algorithms used will be negotiated. So, unless your SSH client is unwilling to use any of the acceptable algorithms it just will work.

For the server's proof of its identity, one gap in older SSH versions is that the client doesn't learn other host keys. So if your client is content with Archaic-host-key, even though the server has been telling anybody new about Shiny-modern-host-key, when the server finally removes Archaic-host-key the client can't verify this server. In modern OpenSSH UpdateHostKeys controls this in clients and defaults to learning new host keys in the most obvious cases.
