FWIW I tried looking a few up and standard library seemed hit-or-miss:

JavaScript it didn't work:

class testClass {
constructor() { }

callHoHe() {
console.log('ho', 'he');
}
}

let hi = new testClass();
hi.callHoHe();

testClass.callHoHe = () => {
console.log('haha');
}

let heh = new testClass();
heh.callHoHe();

This ended up just printing 'ho', 'he' twice,

For Java people didn't think it was possible:

For Java they said here that you just have to use your own similar implementation.

And for C# they have some pretty intense restrictions on overriding standard library stuff:

Golang doesn't seem to have this functionality as well:

Ps. it would have been nice to have monkey patching when dealing with btoa and atob in JavaScript, since they have different function on NodeJS vs the browser.

> 1:9 unvax:vax

Shouldn't this be the other way around? 9 unvaxxed dying for every 1 vaxxed? Otherwise I'm not seeing the quoted claim in the report you linked.

The closest I've been able to find for the U.S. is this Connecticut report on hospitalization. Unfortunately it omits unvaccinated deaths, but we see hospitalizations at a rate of 4:1 (unvax:vax)

Once drones can deliver food from restaurants to customers, the government should step in and mandate some open standard (designed by an industry group) for apps to be able to aggregate all restaurants.

Consumers would be able to choose the app based on the quality of the user experience and what transaction fee they charge. Restaurants would own their own drones, or lease them, possibly competing on speed and payload size.
> 3 hours of storage is massive

It really isn't. For reference, across Europe we're currently having a meteorological phenomenon with bad weather, clouds, little wind, and low temperatures. It has been ongoing since ~october and is projected to continue into the winter. When Texas was hit with terrible weather last year, it lasted a few days. Multi-day storms, which take out solar and wind, aren't unheard of. 3 hours of storage is OK to even out things, but isn't nowhere near close enough to guarantee reliable electricity.
Plenty of parents likely do not let their kids use social media. How effective do you think that is? Kids can and will circumvent their parents' restrictions.

You can certainly make it harder by not giving your kid a cell phone, or giving them a dumbphone. But the article makes a good point that it's a tricky line between protecting your kid and effectively ostracizing them. Especially during the pandemic. Could you imagine being a kid who can't see their friends, can't text them, can only send them emails? You'd have effectively no social contact.

And you can't govern by telling people to be better parents. If one set of parents has a social media addicted child, that's on them. If ten million parents have a social media addicted child, you have a policy problem.
Anarchist thought on hacker news from the New Yorker? I'm here for it. David Graeber (rest in power comrade) was a fantastic writer and his book Debt the first 5000 years was absolutely fascinating. Really exposes the absurdity of the econ 101 barter argument as well as provides a great look at how debt and forgiveness of debt is fundamental to human society

The numbers I've seen say you need ~12 hours of storage to support 80% solar/wind generation composition and 2 weeks to hit 100%. And we're just talking about the US right now. What about the rest of the world?

Personally I think small mass manufacturable fission reactors are the best bet but why are we hung up on either/or? We should aggressively pursue both nuclear and solar/wind generation.

Millions of lives are at stake.

Python had basically already won numerical computing thanks to NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib before ML really blew up. The other two serious contenders were R and Matlab. Python is a much better general purpose language than either of those, and Matlab is proprietary.
At the current consumption, uranium will only last 80 years, with the new surge for nuclear plants, will not even last 25

thorium won't last much more, and it's not even viable at this point, this seems like a desperate attempt to maintain the power consumption per capita for some more years before the inevitable collapse.

I can attest to Python usage in physics exploding after this. What Livermore says, you listen to. They were considered the best of best, after all.

IMHO.

You're getting a lot of consistent feedback from lots of people that this way of explaining things doesn't land the way you think it will. The feedback is all well meaning, and signifies (I think) that people want an alternative to Google, and want to engage with you. That should be a signal that you should listen to them.

The stuff about monopolies may be your personal truth, it may be your motivation. It might even be technically correct.

But the people in this thread are real, and have a spectrum of experiences and perspectives which are different to yours. They may therefore may say things and react in ways that diverge with what you think they'll say and do. That's a great learning opportunity.

Taking feedback is a challenge sometimes, but how well you meet that challenge may well determine the success of your business!

(All my opinion, but it's frustrating that you returned to this thread the next day without seeming to have have accepted the feedback you came here for. I came to the above realization a few years back and it really helped, so I'm paying it forward!)
First thing I did when I first read the story was check my editor. I already had the "Zero Width Characters locator" plugin installed, but that covered less than a handful of specific space character type codes.

Still, the result was good: Looks like IDEA editors like Webstorm show invisible characters with colored background and a warning.

My test was from that first article and also now from this one copy the example code they contained or linked to from the browser into an open file.

I follow Python since 1.6, and occasionally use it for portable scripting when on UNIX platforms (PowerShell on Win), and many aren't really aware that Python is Ada/C++ level of complexity, even if on the first contact seems like the new BASIC.

Besides the nuances of how everything is executed, there are occasionally breaking changes between minor language revisions.

You cannot just pick up a random Python script and be sure it still behaves the same way across all minor revisions.

the use is often ironic. Referring more to political affiliation with people who, perhaps, consider themselves to be alert to injustice and such.

Like calling someone self-righteous.

Also, I don't think the "especially racism" is accurate anymore (at least among the ironic use, which, in my experience, is the more common one). The stronger association nowadays is with like, positions about minorities among sexualities and gender identity, not primarily around race.

Was this really unclear to you?

Are you not exposed to this kind of use frequently?
I don't think my political views fit well into the 1 dimensional model of "left" or "right". There are excellent points and values spread throughout the entire political spectrum. I won't pick sides, and I won't be in the center eiter, so I'm out.

Also, is "I bet you're a {political label}" still considered an insult ?

Numpy, Scipy pandas, etc are a way to use scripty syntax to write CPP code.

Under the hood you get the benefits of CPP: stuff is dense in cache, operations are efficient.

But you can write it without a bunch of types, templates and allocators, which confuse people who aren't used to it. Most numeric code doesn't have a load of types anyway, it's just a few operations on some very large matrices.

Add to that the benefit that you can just ask of python's universe of libraries, which is quite large compared to rivals like MATLAB or R. Want to serve your model as a website? Jam it into Flask. Need crypto lib to grab the data? No problem, just pip it and import.
As far as I can tell most of the black US population living in the poor parts of the American cities were really against the "Defund the police" message from the very beginning, the reason being that people living in there actually need the police more than the (generally white) middle-classes living in the more affluent suburbs.

While i completely agree that the right to correct data is an underappreciated aspect, the biggest motivation is the fundamental right to your own personal data. It motivates the more detailed ones like the right to know who processes your personal data, for what purpose, which data they have, and to correct that data. Not to forget the right to be informed and asked for consent. The "why" of these rights is not found in the robber barons wish to improve the quality of their data swamps. It is found in the wish of the european people to preserve their freedom in the digital age against surveillance capitalism and/or totalitarian governments. I can only hope our brothers and sisters worldwide will one day understand that and demand such a fundamental right as well.

Good call. Turns out I did make an error, reading just the >80 column thinking it's 'total', because it happened that that line dominated the table. There are definitely more vax deaths than unvax covid deaths in week 40-44 in UK, but the ratio is smaller that 1:9. Brb, running excel to sum the whole columns. Table 4b, page 19 for raw data.

Edit: The totals come at 669 unvax deaths vs. 3011 vax deaths. The raw numbers ratio is roughly 2:8 unvax:vax. This is not VE, as it is not adjusted to vax levels in the population. It is just a sanity check of certain claims in the US media.

Apple explicitly refused to change their policy (with Tim Cook saying their board that Apple shouldn't lose out to the new law) and insisted that they're already complying the new law. Which is a blatant challenge to the government of course.
The thing that's keeping Linux from taking over the desktop is the thing that kept Windows from taking over the desktop: OEM preinstalls. As soon as there are enough OEMs shipping consumer kit that runs Linux (and doesn't crumple under Microsoft pressure) then Linux will be a force to be reckoned with on the desktop. Otherwise, all of the DE bikeshedding in the world won't get Linux's foot in the door.

It's a long shot, because Microsoft pretty much controls and defines what a "PC" is now, but maybe there's an opportunity for Raspberry Pi, Pine64 and other SBC vendors here.

This looks really interesting. Not a replacement for large scale (e.g. offshore) wind, but a complement.

> However the US has failed to construct a mixed-oxide fuel facility which is the most developed fuel for a fast reactor (e.g. pure metal and nitrides are both options but oxide fuels seem to require a high energy ball mill that can turn harmless silica into deadly nanoparticles that can wreck your lungs, just imagine what it does with Pu)

Oxide fuel technology is of course pretty mature, as that's what current generation LWR's all use. However, it has severe disadvantages in a LMFBR. US thinking was apparently that they would jump straight to metal fuel (EBR-II and the canceled IFR), other who have used it see it as a stopgap until nitride fuels become available (e.g. Russia is experimenting with nitrides in their fast reactors).

As for economics, technically breeding is extremely cool (catnip for physicists!), but with current uranium prices there's no particular economic driver to develop and commercialize the technology. I think it's very hard to compare prices for mature LWR technology and various one-off fast breeder prototypes, let alone paper reactors. It's useful as a backstop for rising uranium prices, however.

> There is a precedent for commercial licensing of the LMFBR in the US. Terrestrial Energy (Bill Gates's company) is making noises about building one but they are holding their cards so close to their chest that it's hard to believe they have a realistic plan to do it.

The Bill Gates backed company is Terrapower. They have some agreement with GE Hitachi to develop and commercialize the technology, called "Natrium". AFAIU the Natrium reactor is heavily inspired by the canceled IFR, using metal fuel. We'll see what happens, interesting tech though.

(Terrestrial Energy is the company behind the "IMSR" molten salt reactor. It's a thermal spectrum uranium burning, non-breeding reactor design, though)

Jancovici uses physics and maths to prove we definitely won't have western standard of living for 8B people. Even for 2, not for long.
Interesting. PhpStorm highlights the variable after `timeout` but does not highlight the variable after `http://example.com/`. Even pressing F2 to go to the next error goes to the first variable (the highlighted one) but not the second.

However, placing the cursor on either does highlight the second.

I'm using the Darcula scheme. Your screenshot obscures the second occurrence, so we cannot see if your light theme has the same issue with the second occurrence not being highlighted as Darcula has.

The timing of the cold war and the climate change crisis have been unfortunate. A lot of people in the west were opposed to nuclear power, often due to the association with our struggle against the communist world.

If we'd kept going with nuclear, we'd have more investment and more experience in it and it's hard to know for sure, but you could make an argument that we'd be in less of a pickle with the carbon reduction goals. We'd know more about how to make it safer and we'd know more about how to make it better.

“Why the pro-nuclear movement is winning”
https://michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/why-the-pro-nucl...

Some selected quotes:

> The main reason for the success of the pro-nuclear movement is the failure of renewables and the global energy crisis. The share of global energy from fossil fuels is unchanged since 1980 because solar and wind do not replace fossil fuel power plants, and, in fact, depend upon them. Only baseload hydro-electric and nuclear power plants can replace fossil fuels. And over-investment in unreliable renewables and underinvestment in nuclear, hydro-electricity, and natural gas, over the last decade, directly resulted in today’s energy shortages, skyrocketing electricity prices, and a return to coal around the world.

> The most important thing is to tell the truth about nuclear, I argued to friends and colleagues, starting in 2016, and build an honest pro-nuclear movement worldwide around the truth. Anti-nuclear people have been lying about the technology for decades.

> The renewable energy industry has financed misinformation efforts against us. We have been censored by Facebook. And we have lost some supporters. But through it all, EP kept up our work, directly supporting and championing the work of pro-nuclear advocates around the world, giving popular TED talks, and writing a best-selling book, Apocalypse Never, which has been translated into 15 languages
It's true, you can commit crimes and flee the country consequence-free. You found the loophole. Close it up boys, we're done here.
uranium may not be a fossil fuel but it shares all the problems of them

- pollution and waste
- it's limited

At the current consumption, uranium would only last 80 years, if all the countries start to build new power plants, won't last more than 2 decades before it's depleted, and we will have the same problem again.

nuclear power is not a solution, is just a small patch.
> Is that a distinction between political and religious beliefs?

I am sure you are more than capable of thinking of some, since they are pretty obvious. The biggest one that comes to mind is that political beliefs are not required to adhere to a dogma or a set of unfalsifiable superstitions. Also, they are much more fluid over generational timescales -- politics in the US today is vastly different than it was even 50 years ago. In addition, they are also much contextualized -- for example, your political behavior is a function of your local politics in addition to state and national politics.

> You think we can't choose our religious beliefs?

You can! But unlike religious beliefs, you can act on your political beliefs in secret via the ballot box, which frees you from the social consequences of doing so. Contrast this to religious beliefs, where people will notice what you do and do not practice, and potentially discriminate against you for it. The inescapability of religious practice (or its noted absence), and the prejudices that can come with it is why there are anti-discrimination laws for certain kinds of transactions necessary for you to thrive -- for example, housing discrimination based on religion is illegal, as is employer discrimination.

But in no case does Twitter kicking you off impede your ability to hold and act upon either your political or religious beliefs, so no legal protection for your Twitter account is necessary. You are not being oppressed.

I don't think even the employers like it. It costs a lot and it's a pain in the ass to even sign up for if you're a small company. To add an insult to an injury, costs go up every year like clockwork in a largely out-of-control fashion. I worked for several companies now which started from scratch. "Retention" was never a part of the conversation, but "pain in the ass" always was. I think employers provide health insurance simply because employees expect it, as well as to pay you less than they would have to pay you otherwise. It's tax advantaged on their end. If your accountant is any good, it can even be tax advantaged for single person LLCs. Most people don't know this, though. Why this is not tax deductible for "regular" people I have no idea. IMO it should either be tax deductible for everyone, or no one. To have this in-between situation is idiotic.
