I agree with the statement that “between 40 and 100% is straightforward and needs no specific design changes” it’s not wrong. But to be clear a minimum of 40% is nowhere near enough if someone wanted to go close to 100% nuclear. He then mentioned one of several such changes needed in France which does go outside that range and again I agree with what was said. He even mentioned that France regularly goes below 40% output, but below 10% has much more serious issues. Again nothing I disagree with.

I am not sure how you think it’s a refutation of my point?

> You can’t just discount export from nuclear and count import as non-nuclear

I didn’t. They do export some non nuclear generation, but the majority is nuclear which you can verify by looking at the generation during times of export. ~20% nuclear is just what the actual number is. Similarly, they import almost zero nuclear power simply based on when generation occurs and when new power is brought online by the countries involved.

Feel free to dig into hard numbers such construction costs, liability for accidents, and funds set aside to pay for decommissioning and where they came from etc. You obviously feel strongly about this so I can only assume you have exact numbers and a nice economic breakdown.

It takes some doing including digging into Areva‘s finances before and after it’s restructuring (bailout) etc.
I like this insight. It lets me put aside the external consequences and let’s me ask what I want. Expression. Realization.
Seeing this too on iOS. Is this a bug?
I really, really love quotes like this, which make me look at a prior belief in a different way with more context and nuance, and I really like comments that introduce me to them, so thanks for that.

For a long time I've defended the concept (if not the implementation) of advertising on websites as a contract between someone getting something (the user's use of the site) and what they're paying for it (attention bandwidth), with the only caveat being that the current way we serve ads is horrible for both privacy and security. That latter point is how I have justified to myself running an ad blocker.

Often I've equated online advertisements to physical ones, and also noted that what we consider "ads" online is fairly narrow and in a way that helps us justify vilifying them. Advertising can be helpful, and not just in the "I didn't know about that product until I saw the ad" way, but in the way that every store name above or on the door is an advertisement, and in it's most minimal form, a purely useful informational one (the sign advertising restrooms is "advertising" that). There is, necessarily, a spectrum along which advertisements run, from informational or coercive and manipulative, but it is a spectrum, and it is important to note what it is we object to, because "advertisements" is a poor substitute for what that is and unless we identify it, we're doomed to inadequately deal with it.

The idea that very public advertisements in the real world is an interesting one, because we're often presented with them even when using only public resources. Going into a store and seeing advertisements is one thing, you chose to go there and they control that area, but to be confronted with something while on public thoroughfares is another thing entirely. In some respect I totally agree, why should they be allowed to push these images and sounds towards me?

On the other hand, this makes me think of Home Owners Associations and people trying to control their environment (if we assume this is something to be prevented, and not just something we can assume is public domain to remix and use at will if presented in that public manner). In any case, it's an interesting additional context to the idea of advertising in physical and digital ways and how they relate and I'll be thinking on it in the future, so I thank you for sharing it.
It’s actually to control the manufacturers of legitimate hardware and software involved in playing back media. They know that anyone who wants to can pirate their stuff, and they’re not going to go after them. But legit companies can’t just sell HDMI splitters, capture cards, etc. that strip DRM.
I thought this was going to be about system engineering, but it's just about web scale distributed computing. Disappointing, because I'm digging into systems engineering at the moment and got a bunch of books on it for Christmas, plus thumbing through the SEBoK wiki [1] and associated content.

"First of all, I love your username. Are you affiliated with the rsync tool or just an rsync lover like me?"

I am merely an rsync lover like you.

In 2005 I named my company rsync.net because I thought it was descriptive of the service.

Prior to naming it that, I explicitly asked permission from both the original author of 'rsync' and the maintainers at the time. They said they had no problem with it.

I have not authored any piece of the rsync tool.
Good points. So what is Docker good for? I think it's a good tool for creating and packaging virtual machines. No?
Sadly no. I picked the name and bought the domain before I found out about it. When I found out I created a PR [1] to integrate the two. It's not been merged though.

Given that I bought the domain and all that I'm kinda sticking with the name though.

I have {Shan, Shui} running on an e-Ink display framed on my wall.

I made minor modifications to the code so it runs in NodeJS instead of the browser, and spits out an SVG file every 10 minutes, which is then rendered to the screen.

I've seen both movies, though I'm Canadian. I enjoyed the movies because my family is East Asian, and I wanted to see what a real East Asian hero in the movies could look like (long before Shang-Chi came out). This differs from the typical depiction of Asian guys in Hollywood movies as unconfident, geeky, and not romantic interests.

In contrast, the hero of Wolf Warrior is athletic, confident, highly competent, and heroic (he saves civilians in the second movie).

I really enjoyed this because the absence of East Asian heroic figures has contributed to Asian men being seen as unattractive in the dating pool [0]. Career-wise, Asians are also the least likely in the US to be promoted, according to the Harvard Business Review [1]. It's also a struggle to lack Asian role models growing up.

You can't even really talk about this issue of underrepresentation in media as an Asian male without criticism. The first result when you search for issues facing Asian men today is a Slate article documenting radicalized men who have harassed Asian women ("Men's Rights Asians Think This Is Their Moment"). What those guys did is reprehensible, but if I speak about these issues in real life, I can get lumped in with them.

So, I enjoyed the movies, but don't typically talk about my enjoyment for fear of being ostracized. Anyways, Wolf Warrior is more G.I. Joe than James Bond or Rambo. He's also not fighting against American spies or representatives of the US government, but rather villains who happen to be American (and more vicious than bumbling). Also, the hero surprisingly disobeys the Chinese government several times (and ends up imprisoned, though he ultimately returns to alignment with the government in the end).

I have a 32-core 2U system I want to sell. $250 + shipping. Supermicro 2U Server H8DG6-F 2x AMD 6272 2.1ghz 16 Core CPUs, 64GB. It has 12 drive slots but the controller (SAS) only supports 8 drives. You can probably connect the other 4 drives with on-board disk controller ports but I haven't done that. System has 2x power supplies (the quieter ones, though not what I'd call quiet).

I added an expansion card for 2x USB3 ports in addition to the USB2 ports on the motherboard.

I have 8x 400GB Toshiba 15K RPM hard drives for it, in drive sleds. $400 for all 8.

I'll throw in a Happy Hacker mini keyboard or full-sized keyboard.

If interested, my email is in my HN profile. I have the original Supermicro box with foam inserts for shipping. Pics available too - just ask.

The author changed it a few times (first to "--" then to "--ARTICLE DELETED--"), I guess because you can edit titles but not delete submissions?

I flagged the submission since that seems to be the only real way to do this.
You are using a supposed contradiction as evidence that they have a distorted view of reality. Without the contradiction (which I see none), the argument that they are distorting reality lacks premise.

It banks on inferring, "Joe drank too much last night and we got in a car crash." to explicitly mean "Joe was driving drunk". It isn't a completely off-base interpretation, but it isn't rock solid either. More context is necessary before this conversation has any real value.
Actually that's a good point. So I guess now the point is whether customer empathy actually is a key ingredient to professionalism. I suppose you can be a professional without having customer empathy (well ok maybe customer contact) but you won't be a fanatic and that's what companies are trying to recruit to reduce churn?

> I have an i7 3770k box that I repurpose occassionally for random projects. It runs Linux really well, but Win10 is an absolute dog. I can't even imagine Windows 11? Overclocked, 16gb RAM, SSD's in RAID... it doesn't make sense.

I've been using Windows 10 (previously Windows 7) on an i7-3770 for close to ten years (!). That shouldn't be a slow machine. The only way my system might have an advantage would be the GPU or the 32GB of RAM. Sad to think that big chunk of memory might actually be needed, but, might be worth a try?

There are some things that are easy to get wrong in terms of motherboard setup (memory timings!) even if you're not overclocking. It seems farfetched that those would effect Windows a lot more than Linux, which you said is working fine, but again, it might be something to look at.

Contrary to another commenter, I never noticed Spectre and Meltdown mitigations to cause a real problem, and I did some benchmarking because I was concerned about that.
Zig is definitely a C replacement in my opinion.

A word of advice: the key to breaking this habit is to force yourself to put the community’s interests above your own. That’s what worked for me.

For example, changing the title to a foreign language (in an effort to get the mods to wipe it off the front page?) only damages the community. HN needs to stay interesting to survive, and changing your title like that is both confusing and disappointing for the average HN user. (Normally, exotic titles that get upvoted to the front page turn out to be highly interesting.)

I say this not to criticize, but to help you long-term. Firstly, relax. None of this is going to matter to you in a month. Secondly, focus on writing substantive content “from the heart.” Try to write out of curiosity, and make sure that any time you write out of anger, alarm bells are going off in your head. “Warning: this isn’t intellectual curiosity that I’m feeling.”

Another solution in a case like this is to email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com and ask them to do whatever you wanted to do. I haven’t emailed in years, but when Scott was around, the return time on emails was sometimes less than one minute. (It was astonishing.) I urge you to try emailing, partly as a sign of good faith. As it stands now, it would be risky to let future articles from your domain sit on the front page, unless everyone understands this was a unique one-off situation.

You clearly have a lot to offer, and I hope to see you around long-term. Best of luck. And remember: no stress, friend.
I did this deliberately mainly so it doesn't get a lot of attention.

I wrote this article when I was angry, but later felt sorry for it so that's why I renamed it to a mix of Chinese and Japanese, so the algorithms move it down.

Not really ... I notice twilio deducting USD $9 every 10 or 12 days ? It's a business expense.

I also 'lookup' numbers to check if they are mobile or not:

curl -s -X GET "https://lookups.twilio.com/v1/PhoneNumbers/$number?Type=carrier&Type=caller-name" -u $accountsid:$authtoken | /usr/local/bin/jq '.'

... which is handy. Usually shows their name and carrier ID as well.

As you can see, I pipe it through 'jq' because that's what all the cool kids do.
Lots of things can be complicated in Bazel, but I would not at all consider code generation to be among them. You just write a genrule, and wrap it in a macro if you want to do the same thing more than once. (It can be more complicated than this, of course, but then code generation isn't the hard part of the problem.)
This is all true, as far as it goes, but it is all because Fleming did a couple of things differently, which, perhaps accidentally, made his stories appealing as movie vehicles.

Firstly, unlike most other (and in some cases better) writers of espionage and sabotage fiction of the time, he set his stories in the Cold War rather than WWII.

Secondly, he cast Bond as an adroit womanizer. That term alone signals that we are talking about a different era.

Fleming also indulged his audience’s fascination with the lifestyles of the wealthy, though the Bond of his novels exhibited a certain prissiness that the movie makers wisely dropped.

Finally, that ‘license to kill’ nonsense was pure theater, but effective.
I'm astounded that FAANGs would want people who had already done a major, intensive leetcode interview to get in the door and had been working for 2-3 years would be asked to do another similarly-intense interview. I've commented on this before, but it seems as if there's not much trust or standardization in interview processes across the top of the industry. If there were, they wouldn't be asking engineers to grind leetcode again a few years later after already proving their mettle.
Tax avoidance just moves the tax burden around, it doesn't create value.

Tax collection and tax compliance does create value, but spending time specifically figuring out how to pay as little taxes as possible creates no value. It see likely that some level of bullshit jobs are an unavoidable side-effects of value producing activities. The interesting part of the idea comes from thinking about how we can structure those value producing activities to minimize the bullshit side-effects and thus increase economic efficiency.

Taxes are an area with a lot of low hanging fruit, unfortunately Intuit and other tax prep companies spend a lot of money lobbying to maximizing the bullshit jobs side effects of taxation because it makes them more money.
I agree with the other commenter who recommended a cloud solution. If not though, a 5950x will be way faster than any decommissioned unit in a similar price range. The 5950x is 16 cores around 5GHz and it's on Amazon for $770. 64GB of Unbuffered ECC RAM and an ASRock Mobo and you can do the build for $2k. You can do it cheaper too if you go to 12 cores or 32GB RAM or whatever. If you know how to overclock RAM (or learn how to use Ryzen DRAM Calculator), you can squeeze out another 10-15% performance in compile tasks.

Here is an example build:

A dutch economist once estimated that about 50% of a modern economy is bullshit, basically just keeping each other busy.

It's made possible because of the naive belief that markets create supply out of demand, and that this mechanism is ruthlessly efficient.

Right now, somebody is "inventing" potato chips flavor #16,333,132. Nobody asked for it, but a whole bunch of people are involved in its creation. Next, the product is pushed, and if not totally disgusting, you might try it. If the push is large and prolonged, you may even make it a regular buy. Even more so when you see lots of other people eating it.

Did this product meet your demand? No. Do you believe its a good use of labor to make this product? No. Your "demand" was fabricated out of aggressively pushing supply.

Are the top 10 songs in the charts the songs most in demand, the market efficiently selecting the best songs, taking into account all recent music produced? No. The songs are pushed. Supply decides, not demand.

Right now, thousands of engineers are working on the next iOS version, adding hundreds of new features. You'll probably use 2 of them. You'll get all 500 features anyway, regardless of demand, as you will definitely buy the next iPhone.

That's the 50% I'm referring to: artificially created demand that really is just marketing and manipulation.

Another way in which markets aren't efficient is a lack of competition. After all, it's every market player's goal to basically exit the arena, not needing to fight for their continued existence. Several sectors have big industry players that effectively have no competition. The same can be true for businesses where locality is a unique benefit. And it applies to local and federal governments, whom have no competition at all. And there's patents, cartels and other ways to escape market forces.

These non-competitors sustain armies of workers with bullshit jobs.

Ultimately, our economic system doesn't care. When you have a paid job, nobody asks questions about whether it has meaning. Your government will like you and so will your family. Bullshit or not. We have build a system that celebrates meaningless consumption and meaningless work.
Engineers should avoid pursuing the perfect, most-generic, elegant solution. Spending too much time to decide the best tools, the right design pattern, etc. Coding is a lightweight process (compared to other forms of engineering). So it is easy to go back and rebuild and upgrade, which will be required in any case.

But of course watch if the need to redesign/rebuild becomes a pattern. Then invest more time up ahead. But most times, a decent engineer is able to get to a fairly accurate and good solution.

I run a mumble server and I'm a holdout. Close friends know I won't go on Discord.

I had a thought the other day that it's interesting now that Discord has a strong user-base, they've really gone backwards in terms of what made them palatable in the first place. If I recall correctly, it used to be that you could send someone a Discord URL and they would be able to instantly join a call from it, no account needed, no app needed, no need to "join a server", just straight into a call. I suspect at some point their strategy moved away from growing the number of users, to now extracting value from existing users.
