You could also try to skim some of the original material instead of taking an article obviously written with a propaganda level of bias hook line and sinker.

Stop blindly trusting people because they use some of the same political buzzwords you like.

They aren't proposing any reduction in math education, it's actually a proposal to try to teach more students, more math.

Most schools in the us start in b early middle school a set "advanced" math course. And if for some reason you weren't accepted in 6th grade, it is totally very difficult to get into the advanced math tract as it is taught and assumed that you need every year of math perfectly in order or you will be "lost".

No other subject is taught like this. I had many people move in and out of honors classes from 6-12th grade. But very rarely people move into the honors math classes from non honors. Kinda a big sign the current system is stifling
A statement can have several traits simultaneously, for example "being critical of Pfizer" and "being a lie". The former does not excuse the latter.

There is no climate crisis.
There are exceptions.

- There are plenty of smaller tech hubs with way higher quality of life like Zurich, Berlin

- Or others that are incredible affordable like Warsow, Bukarest, ..

- The USD is not looking healthy from CHFs perspective. I would have to expect to earn less every month.

- Getting paid from the US makes banking and taxes way more complicated. You can not even open a bank account without signing 3 times that your money does not come from the US.

- US companies have different values/ideas about social security/pension and co. Also work hours or more than 40 hour weeks

- I don't fully understand the diploma thing. You may think it is more important than it actually is in central Europe. It's common (because education is free or cheap), but by far not the only way to get in the Industrie.

My point is when you already live in modern place with high quality of living standards it's unlikely you'd find a US job, remote or not, tempting.

Hardly. Most of it decays quite fast. (think tens of years to get below backround radioactivity) While there is some extremely long lived radioactive waste, it is, quite frankly, miniscule in the amount.

Bonjour.

In France there are reactors, now they are OLD.

OLD is a cost, and also a risk.

France already has gaz (cost is hight), or hydrolic (water daws are all in use at its max in France), but it seems France doesnt want to go the german way and switch on the coal power plants.

The press article mention green peace, while most of people think gren peace are communicant people who doesnt get aware about science news and will applause germany for leaving nuclear (but going COAL) and blame france for keeping nuclear (but having low CO2 energy ratio) like if wastes are worst than CO2 while CO2 is nowday issue.

Government tryed to open the energy market in France, but since it has done that, the consumer prices are only getting highter and highter while the historic company EDF is making profit, and not the new comers who are often at the edge to termination plan. Also, Having a company not being EDF (governement has 80% part of it) to own a reactor is a risk, because profit always come first for a company.

Having new reactor will give more low-CO2 emission energy and give more time to have more decent work (r&d) on renewable energy and stockage (not daws since we already use them all here) probably.

There are risk to have reactor, and also wastes, but the CO2 costs look the best until there is something else.

PS: I'm not a macron side voter; I think many french people think like this; I'm not backing anything with source, because it's just what it is on people minds i guess and i agree a bit to that; so I'm just sharing this here for the discussion

Come on people, it's not like gnome devs are masters of collaboration themselves.

Gnome designers can come up with a new direction that 99% of their users hate and they wouldn't even care.

Most recent releases have basically been "let's remove something everyone love and use every day, because we can". For example, they removed desktop icons and redesigned the dash to be big and ugly and always autohide and made display overview horizontal with no way to change back.

Ubuntu is using old gnome releases because if they upgraded to the last release half their paying customers would leave in anger.
Note that half the time, you'd make typos and it wouldn't run. So it sounds nostalgic, but not so much.

Dr. Dobbs Journal was probably the king of source code listings in magazine format.

Pre-Internet, there were some remarkable mass-distribution Unix magazines with significant source code for utilities: Unix Review and Unix World. Even today, the back issues would be useful.

I remember lusting over the AT&T 3B Unix machines advertised in those, but never could afford one. So I waited until VAX Unix in uni (the arts dept. had an unused one), then SCO and Linux.

Really, I think it was more about showing off how much smarter and knowledgable than their students they are. "My students think it'll only take this long but I've got a bunch of requirements that I never mentioned that make this harder. For example, the no logging feature, that wouldn't get used. Encryption feature, pointless. Syncing with the cloud? Jesus, at this point you're talking about a fully fledge product that wouldn't only add these after multiple rounds of user conversations.
I wonder if this is something analogous to Parkinson's law. I have found that transitioning to a single screen was initially frustrating, but it forced me to adapt to the lack of space by condensing my writing, both code and prose.

It seems intuitively convincing and almost obvious to me that the quality of your output would be inversely proportional to the amount of available "space" for that output, although the exact relationship doesn't seem so clear.

We're from the same country, so I know a bit about it.

There was always a fear of contamination, and the Three-Mile-Island accident in the US didn't help. This was before Chernobyl. But of course it's worth remembering why everyone thought that might be such a big problem: there was a siren each Wednesday reminding people that we're in a Cold War, and if it turns hot there's a nuke somewhere with "Copenhagen" written in Cyrillic. So people understood that nuclear fallout is not nice. Plus Denmark ain't big, so basically if something were to happen the whole country could be radioactive. For the same reason, many Danes took issue with the Swedes building a nuclear plant that you can still see from Copenhagen.

The OOA (the organization that led the anti-nuclear movement) made a nice logo with a smiling sun and a "Nuclear Power? No Thanks" message that got thousands of people on the street to protest. Some of the people maintained that if we only could solve what to do about the waste, they'd be fine with it. Often the debate has been "if the tech were better I'd be for it".

I'm not sure this is a reasonable decision. Tech gets better with experience, and you don't build experience by not engaging. Much like mini-mills from Clayton Christensen, often the tech that wins looks crappy and niche when it starts.
Radioactive stuff is kinda interesting. Longer it is active less it produces radiation, more it produces faster it breaks down... Ofc, it is not that clear cut as power of radiation differs.

It is just that I wouldn't be too worried about properly stabilised long lived waste. Just like I'm not too worried about natural uranium...

Are you referring to 2 new units at Vogtle? What scares me there is that there were already few acquisitions and reactor manufactured filed for bankruptcy. Seems like entities that started it aren't the same, that are finishing it.

The article specifically said they were doing snapshots because you cannot rsync on live datasets.

Adding a variable decorator/annotation like @Unicode(german,french) would be a good stop-gap. You could only use ASCII characters unless you specified the script that you want to use. One could even set a max limit on how many scripts per variable. Because while I have used German characters in variables before (only if I'm referring to some law or spec), I never had a use case for more than 2 scripts within one variable.
Figured this thread would be full of eggdrop comments. So many good memories writing TCL scripts back in the 90's. Really happy to see the project is still developed, definitely a part of internet history for me.

When Apple Maps got released and everbody made fun of how bad it was, it was revealed that Google Maps had something like 6000 people working on it for years and years, funded through Alphabet corporation's search monopoly and ad revenue.

Not the maps ad revenue, that's a pittance. The search revenue.

And note that a company that was the world's biggest (or nearly so) at the time failed to catch up, and has still failed, despite also dipping deep into an unrelated (near-monopolistic) source of funding. They apparently "only" had 1000 staff.

There aren't lots of competitors, and nobody has a hope in the world of catching up with Google Maps and their illegal use of their monopoly to dominate other markets. Even other companies illegally abusing their own near-monopoly position have failed!
Interesting place in many ways. Just a few days ago it was reported: "Vast patches of glassy rock in Chilean desert likely created by ancient exploding comet." [https://phys.org/news/2021-11-vast-patches-glassy-chilean-an...]

"Around 12,000 years ago, something scorched a vast swath of the Atacama Desert in Chile with heat so intense that it turned the sandy soil into widespread slabs of silicate glass.... Fields of dark green or black glass occur within a corridor stretching about 75 kilometers.... The analysis found minerals called zircons that had thermally decomposed to form baddeleyite. That mineral transition typically happens in temperatures in excess of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit...."

China have an experimental molten-salt Thorium reactor going live very soon. It's only small, but if it's successful there are plans to build a much bigger one by 2030. That's really interesting tech, notably because the supply of Uranium is very limited and there isn't enough in nature for every nation to go all in on nuclear power. Using Thorium and turning it in to U-233 for power generation is a good idea. Plus, there's loads of Thorium on the moon, so if we get good reactors on Earth the tech will apply to our extra-terrestrial expansion plans.

This is super good. Again, the point is not Europe in and of itself, but also India and China.

The demand for power in India and China is outstripping everyone else. And it is still stuck using coal power. India and China do NOT have land (for renewables) commensurate with the population or energy demand.
Also one of the biggest sources of renewable hydro power is a geopolitical flashpoint for India vs China (https://www.indiatoday.in/news-analysis/story/china-proposed...). Almost a hundred soldiers died in an India vs China battle recently around this area.

Both India and China have unilaterally rejected COP26 restrictive measures from developed nations... simply because it is not possible to reduce the power demand coming from populations (the size of Europe) being lifted up from poverty.

The only answer for the next 50 years is nuclear tech. And France is literally the only game in town right now. So let us pray, this happens sooner than later. You do NOT want coal from 2 BILLION people in the atmosphere.

The site guidelines specifically ask you not to post like that without evidence. Why? Because internet users routinely make these accusations up based on nothing more than seeing a few things (or just one thing) they happen not to like. There's nearly never anything more to it than that, therefore (a) it's off-topic here unless there's something objective to go on; and (b) if there is something objective to go on, you should let us know at hn@ycombinator.com so we can specifically look into it.

Rolls-Royce are developing small modular reactors which will help decentralise nuclear power as you’d have fewer small reactors spread over a larger area.
Nuclear is just cleaner when it's done right. Look at the top producing plants in the US (https://findenergy.com/power-plants/). All fossil fuels, mostly around 1,000 KGs of CO2/MWh produced. Nuclear is around 15 KGs/MWh. Just for reference, the #1 polluting plant in the US produces more CO2 than all of the passenger vehicles in the US combined.
To be honest I havn't touched it since a few years, and it doesn't seem to be used much since. The networking was simply bad by design, you would get a lot of weird network issues while Kubernetes or Rancher (before Rancher ran on Kubernetes) would not.
Which is why you should ensure the first 90% is as little work as possible. Trying to take the other 90% into account from the start will just create yet another 90% later as all your original assumptions turns out to be wrong or mesh poorly with each other.

Some things are important to plan since they are hard to change, like user data or API boundaries, but other than that simple is usually the best to start with.

That is a misconception. The GNOME designers I have seen are not making decisions at random or removing things because they can, there actually is data and research to back up what they are doing. If you are a designer and are interested to know more then it would benefit to talk to them and ask them for their reasons, and then maybe you could contribute meaningfully from that angle. If there is something you think they missed, and you have the data to back it up (i.e. real usage data over long periods of time from large groups of users), then I think that would be helpful.
You can have both.

Nuclear power has plenty of problems even without the association with bombs. How about the very real association with accidents with civilian nuclear reactors. And how about the fact that after each one of them the industry always said that this would never happen again and then it happened again.

I am not sure what you mean "if we kept going with nuclear". We are keeping going with it. It is a continued disaster. The last plant being built, two reactors at Vogtle are now estimated to cost over 25 billion, a massive overrun over an original estimate of 14 billion. That construction already caused the bankruptcy of one of the builders (Westinghouse), massive losses at another (Chicago Bridge and Iron). Eventually Chicago Bridge and Iron was acquired at depressed valuation by McDermott, but the valuation was not depressed enough because McDermott itself declared bankruptcy last year.

Just last month there was another 3 month delay announced at Vogtle. This will certainly increase costs even more.

There is also the VC Summer plant that was recently cancelled after massive delays and cost overruns. That plant was also partially to blame for Westinghouse's bankruptcy.
That's great! While probably hard to watch anywhere outside of Germany, there is a mini TV series about what will happen when we all got our smart electric meters:

And before anyone replies that it won't come that far, please consider three things:

- We are using an AC power network, not a DC one.

- The power grid is the backbone of modern society.

- Try to find one big technology deployment which was deemed "safe" and actually kept that promise. Because I can easily find countless counter examples reaching from the Titanic to your latest game console.
The relevant difference here is that LaTeX is open source, unlike Word, so any desired functionality can be added much more easily and naturally.
