As happy as I am that nuclear is back, I really don't trust Macron on this. For the record, here is what he did in his current term regarding nuclear:

- shut down the Fessenheim plant, one of the most reliable one. Yes it was the oldest, but not by far, and reports from the nuclear authority are pretty clear that this plant was in a much better shape than others built just a few years afterwards (Bugey, one year later which is now older than Fessenheim was when shut down, and Blayais started 4 years later).

- promised to reduce the share of nuclear in the electricty mix to 50% by 2025.

- shut down Astrid, the French research project for 4th generation nuclear (which is the only long term viable path for nuclear, since there will never be a shortage of fertile material (U238 or Thorium) whereas fissile one is pretty limited. Breeding reactors also solve the very-long lived nuclear waste issue).

He did all of this when he was trying to seduce electors from the green party. Now he don't seem to care about them, but who knows for how long…
Dupe.

Interestingly, the actually concerning part of this has nothing to do with the left, the right or polarisation.

> The early chapters of our book, The Coddling of the American Mind, are about a set of destructive and illiberal ideas that emerged on American college campuses in the years 2014-2016.

That is still the big issue here. It doesn't matter whether they are left or right wing, countries controlled by people who reject liberal values tend to go badly for the people who live there. The people coming out of these institutions are being put on the easy path to the levers of power.

Whether or not they hold left- or right- wing or even centrist views, this is worrying.

Nothing has been "established" in the linux desktop. It's comprehensively lost in the marketplace for the last two decades. Gnome and KDE are at this point losing approaches, both have scrubbed progress several times for major rewrite revisions that promised several steps forward for one step back. Problem is, they never really made the steps forward in terms of market share.

Linux can't even win the software developer wars. How is OSX, which can barely run docker, has a linux incompatible CLI, and requires relearning keybindings if you come from windows or linux desktops, and is steadily jailing its applications into a store, winning the desktop OS wars among software devs that are probably all running linux derivatives in K8s or VMs?

A good team that knows DEs and the current DE codebases can probably work wonders.
Hah! And another interesting tidbit, the guy who invented PAM worked for me. The problem we had was that I had designed this new "secure" name server, that a number of folks were working together to make real and the existing SunOS code could only talk to either Yellowpages (nee YP, nee NIS) or files. I was adding this new thing (NIS+[1]) and we has crossed the threshold that now we had three things you might want to use for authentication (and things like host lookups too!) His name was Andrew, he was Australian and was depressed because he felt like none of the work he was doing would live very long. I tried to explain to him that this part of the problem was very important and it would last a long time but he didn't believe me. It out lasted NIS+ to be sure!

Oh, and I was also in the Java group after I moved from the Systems Group and the first implementation of PAM was in 1991 if you can believe it. It definitely pre-dated Java and when I joined "Firstperson" (which was the soooper seekrit project that was developing 'oak' which was to become Java) in 1992 the target was embedded systems like TVs or set top boxes not the web.

Just to say, if I'm reading a config file and see "pam_winbind.so", I have a much better idea of what's going on than if the same file says "winbind" instead.

My wife and I agree on the reality of butterflies but she fears them while I don't.

This is not the first climate change our species had to face and it probably won't be the last. If we don't fight it and the projections are to be believed, our environment is going to change in very tangible ways and this is sure to have an impact on our species' way of life. But it will adapt, just like it did in the past.

The current fight against climate change is not so much about long term survival or preserving the planet as it is about maintaining the current power balance. As projected, climate change will necessarily induce a lot of drama: droughts, famines, large scale migrations, wars, unrest… and with that will come redistribution of economic/political power. _That_ is what those in power fear and why so much effort is put into maintaining our current way of life, and thus the distribution of power that comes with it, "but with less impact".

I agree and disagree.

The part I agree on is that more people should understand, or at least be aware, of the chemistry in the serum.

The part I disagree is that it's pedantic, its function is to stimulate an immune response, just like traditional vaccines. This argument is the same as people who say we shouldn't call phones phones anymore. Technically correct, but not really useful.
>If you want to code in Haskell or Lisp in Europe, good luck.
I can agree with points around salary and diploma, but not on that one.

Scala, Haskell, Ocaml, Clojure, Coq, Idris are much more significant in the EU than in the US. Many Ph.D. contribute to language and ecosystem, and you can easily find exciting projects with them, not only crypto.

Even GHC was developed mainly by the EU and British people. The Swiss academy created Scala. Coq and Ocaml are big in French academy circles.

It's also a problem for me because I'm working from Eastern Europe (I can pay only 5% tax on all income up to 250k euro on remote).
I primarily work with US companies, salaries are outstanding, but usually interesting FP-ish things are done in the EU, where wages are lower.

And I am on remote, so there is no profit for me to earn less with better social and government benefits like people in West Europe.
Exactly, it's not like it runs in a VM
A few things:

0) Brave lets me run searches w/out the extension

0:0) Chrome & Chromium do not

0:1) I find it irritating that I am not told to download the extension before the search. This is irritating because I've already expended the mental effort to produce a search query, and something tells me that the extension won't remember that query five minutes later after I've installed it, so I'm going to have to copy-paste or do some other out-of-band nonsense to tack down my current mental context.

0:2) I get the anti-big-tech sentiment. (Hell, I run Brave and set my default engine to DDG.) But I also know how frustrating it is when I have to interrupt some flow of thought I have just to perform some boilerplate ritual for the sake of the computer/developer. Tell me I have to install the extension before I run a search. Convince me that the extension isn't low-quality trash like most browser extensions are, that it's not mining Ethereum in the background and that it's not going to grind my CPU to a halt when I'm running full dev.

1) I wanted to dislike the "for devs" branding, but e.g. `v3d linux registers` actually returned relevant results, including relevant files in the Linux source

2) If you want an "in" for an installed based, make an editor extension, probably VS code; Emacs if you want hacker cred

2:0) This will reduce the friction when I as a dev have to learn some aspect of a library/protocol/RFC/spec on the fly, but only for implementation purposes, not to truly grok.

2:1) An editor extension also frees me from certain limitations of the web (even w/ browser extension). A search engine that could parse and present and even make executable certain portion of the IETF RFCs, for instance, could be quite useful

3) The search results are a little "busy," and I'm not sure what these "shortcut" buttons are for. They seem to do nothing for me (on Brave, no extension).

4) Most code search features are awful. GitHub's search, for instance, has so much noise and so little signal that searching Google or DuckDuckGo w/ site:github.com is more likely to find a relevant result.

4:0) This is particularly frustrating because I often want to search private repos that aren't indexed by Google (hint, hint, editor extension)

4:1) I end up using something like The Silver Searcher (`ag`) on the command line in order to find what I'm looking for, esp. in a large codebase. That UX has all of the warmth and simplicity of a wet blanket.

4:2) If you could build local code search that is integrated into global search results per user, and you convincingly proved that ABSOLUTELY NO private local code left the confines of the computer the data was stored on, then you would have a winner. But you'd need absolute credibility (hint, hint, talk to your lawyers).

4:3) While on the subject of lawyers, this engineer would personally love it if privacy policy and TOS were "versioned" so that I could actually trust them to remain stable over time. Today, TOS is always treated as forced upgrade without my consent.

5) How expensive was the domain `you.com`?
I think that this is incorrect framing, or at least incomplete framing. The question we should be asking is why are so many parents letting their young kids use these platforms.

In fact, why are kids before high school getting cellphones? And even if they do, why are they being allowed to use these apps?

I’m not saying the responsibility does not lie with these companies, but for some reason parents’ role seems to be entirely missing in all these narratives.
I didn't read your wall, but, if I bought a $2M Jay Z art, or a deed to a famous house, and wanted to show that off on my Twitter page, web3 tokens allow me to do this — not Patreon.

Few things are black and white.

I absolutely believe in bankruptcy. I also believe the government can fund state schools and community colleges in such a way as to improve access without building more palaces.

Just by improving the rigor of community colleges students can save massive amounts of money by paying $2k/y instead of $30k and live at home instead of $15k for housing.

This cuts the cost basically in half.

> 7-10 years is a death sentence if we need to transition in the next 15 years, by 2035

France has no need to transition when it comes to electricity. We're already almost as low emission as possible so there is no urgency. What we need is a medium term plan, because the plants may start being decommissioned in around 10 years (unless ASN give them the right to run for ten more years, which isn't completely impossible: in the US, some plants from the same technology (PWR) is allowed to run until 70 years!).

And btw, solar in France makes zero sense except in the Mediterranean region, the weather is just not good enough…
But they have not, so "Apple has a fairly long history of keeping cross-platform ports alive even if they aren't publicly available" means a load of nothing at the moment.

I get that Apple are not trying to make a Chrome/Chromium competitor because it is not worth it for them and in that they have succeeded --- Safari is indeed not a competitor to Chrome/Chromium... So... good job?
I signed up for it, and immediately cancelled. The ability to undo tweets is a bit of an annoyance after a while, and none of the features really justify the $3/mo price tag for me. If they charged me $3/mo to make my feed ad free, that would have been worth it. This...not so much.
I believe the Flamanville EPR is considered as some sort of prototype. It was planned to be years in the making and difficulties were expected.

However, they were not expecting this much. The reasons that they are pushing are:

1. Lack of proper trained personnel

2. More constraints imposed during the projects due to Fukushima

3. First design of that kind

And as you said, the last nuclear reactor to be finished in France was 20 years ago[0]. The people who worked on that last plant were probably the one who worked on plants during the 70s, 80s and 90s and retired right after. It fits with reason 1.

They may not have gone to the cloud because it was difficult to hire, but they are likely to stay there because of it.

This thread is full of comments making it sound that running your own hardware is black magic and cloud is the only way to deploy at scale. Yes it is hard, but not so hard that spending $500 Million/year [1] on cloud is cheaper than running your own DC.

It is even harder for companies that already had investments in DC operations to justify.

Leveraging public clouds for workloads that need flexible scaling or use cloud native services which are not cost effective / feasible to develop in-house it always makes sense to shift, however the lift and shift for everything we have been seeing has no justification for companies already running their own infra unless developers and system admins are demanding cloud, either they want cloud in their resumes or don't know how anymore to write traditional applications.

Many enterprise apps even today are not cloud native or leverage anything beyond basic compute and storage IaaS services and do not have high load variations and not even set to auto-scale, they never had technical or economic reasons to be moved to the cloud if you already had sunk costs running a DC.

[1] We can argue what that number is all day , when including everything you need to do run a DC it is cheaper than on the Cloud. There is a definitely a number, as at very top end of usage companies like Apple or Facebook etc are not sitting on top of AWS and it would never make sense for them at their scale, somewhere in between that point does exist.
Unzipping Zipf’s Law (2017)
We don't need fusion. Fusion would be nice but we have more than enough fissile material to use well-understood fission plants for the foreseeable future.

The problem is humanity needs to get it's act together and stop allowing politics, NIMBY and a severe lack of understanding of science from getting in the way of saving itself.

Nuclear proliferation is the least of our problems if we can't grow our food outside anymore and half our cities are underwater.
I don't think this is a fair assessment of "most ML people"

Some of the biggest distributed systems built today are used for statistical inference or scientific computation

Most "ML people" I know are highly versatile in software, networks and deep hardware knowledge, i.e., essentially they have a very good understanding of what a computer is and what is capable from

Its very naive to think that you can assemble machine learning systems without having a solid understanding of computers and statistics

Github, Hey, and so many others are examples of Rails applications with complex interactions. Server templates and partials rendering doesn't mean "I reload the page on every click and can't write any javascript because I only do ruby". You have tools for doing dynamic html too, just not your usual redux/rxjs/thunk/observable/typesafeactions stuff.

Agree that Django is a backend framework, but Rails is not, you can certainly do frontend in Rails. Just not SPAs, but you need a more open mindset for understanding how it is intended to be used.

Of course, if you are building Google Docs or Maps then you're probably better with a SPA framework. But not for 90% of applications out there which are just CRUD apps.
Electrolysis is decently efficient (>70%), but turning the Hydrogen back to electricity loses quite a bit. Nevertheless, the real question is cost, not efficiency. As you noted during peak production the electricity is essentially free. If it's cheaper to use existing NG infrastructure to store Hydrogen and run gas turbines with it than building an equivalent amount of batteries, then we should go for it. Given that world lithium battery production is insufficient right now, and different battery chemistries are still experimental, proven technology like electrolysis+gas turbines seems like a good idea.

To answer a few questions here:

1. I landed this fix because there was a policy that did not work properly. We could instead document that the URLBlocklist policy works for every scheme but one, or we could fix it. Fixing it makes more sense.

2. This policy only can be set on managed machines.

3. This policy, in isolation, is trivially circumvented. Managed environments block many things, including many of the proposed circumventions here.

4. I've built one of the world's most popular tools for viewing and modifying web traffic. The narrative that this feature has broad implications for anything is absurd.

France is around 70% nuclear and 15% renewable (mainly hydro). Maintaining the same level of emissions would mean going to 85% renewable, not 75%.

Here’s what I actually said:

> The problem with teaching people when they’re in a moment of profound weakness is there’s an implied demand: my advice is rational, you aren’t in a rational state of mind, choose one.

You’re just making the demand explicit. It’s still a demand, not a fact.

Edit: to be really clear, this attitude that you have rational advice and I’m irrational is a way to ensure that any approach you take that shows any hint of it is suspect. You may believe it all you want, you might even be correct, but I’m just getting manipulation signals.
