It's weird how the risk of another Fukushima was successfully downplayed so much.

Obviously it's the sole world leader with a PhD in nuclear physics who is only one miscalculated the costs and risks. /s

Obviously the fact that 0 insurers would touch a nuclear plant without pushing liability for 99% of the cleanup costs onto the taxpayer doesnt mean it's not 100% safe. Right?

If the US nuclear industry's aging plants really were getting safer like they claim wouldnt they be happy to prove it by raising their liability cap a little bit above 0.1% of the cost of fukushima?
America is back!
Maybe like mandatory re-education or vaccines?
> Although I'm not sure if that's any more efficient than desalination/hydrolysis for an H2 plant with fuel cells.

One can make more than methane. Heavier liquid fuels like methanol, which is a great gasoline analogue, can also be synthesized.

Theoretically speaking, the most efficient way to split water is thermal decomposition at really, really high temperatures, with a catalyst. I've seen a variety of proposals to split water into hydrogen and fix the H2 as a hydrocarbon, with direct heating from both concentrated solar and nuclear. I don't know about the practical economics, though.
Ooltered is the one I was referring to. It was twice as jarring, because they won't even recognize all-tered as a proper word at all. Had to literally spell it out.

What is the evidence though? Transfer pricing does not seem to be applicable to a managed care organization (health insurance company), which only operate in the US as far as I know, and do not have IP to transfer in the first place.

Web3: Vegas vs. the Promised Land
Okay but like who cares?

Are any of those even in the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap? Is anyone speaking about them in the context of Web3 or is it all ETH, XRP and maybe two more?

From my blissfully uninformed mind, the only time these cryptocurrencies pop up is precisely this: as a counterargument to the popular ones, where you can see all the transactions. They're fringes even among the fringe that is cryptocurrencies.

Came here to say exactly this. Pronouncing 't' is the main distinction I've noticed in my own speech between speaking normally and self-consciously attempting to "speak properly". It's not natural for me to pronounce 'T' without trying. The glottal stop is natural.

This is called marketing.

It does mean "not negative" in languages with bounds checks. Like Rust.

It doesn't seem so. Clicking a random link from inside the Vaultwarden webpage (which is never used anyway, in favor of the Bitwarden browser plugins) and following the requests in Firefox's Browser Console, no request has a Referer HTTP request header. Vaultwarden does not send the Referer header cross-origin:

My home server uses Caddy and its JSON logs. These are incredibly easy to parse of course. Through the dynamic DNS solution I use (Docker image qmcgaw/ddns-updater), I have a list of all of my own IP addresses. Add to that others like my work's IPv4 block, and I get a collection of 'known', i.e. harmless IP addresses. Filtering these in a little pandas-based Python tool leaves all requests reaching the secret endpoint. Logs reach back around a week. Another tool 'enriches' each log entry with IP lookup info from ipinfo.io. Their free API tier is enough for my uses. That way, I can filter for request origin countries, hostnames, etc.

The entire pipeline is automated, but triggered manually on-demand. So far, no hits from unknown IPs to the endpoint!
I suspect that big corporations and big investment firms are pumping a lot of money into the cryptocurrency space to prevent innovation and to encourage scams in order to discredit the space. They want to buy it up, hype it up, then dump their bags on mom-and-pop investors while attempting a controlled demolition of the space.

This might sound far-fetched to outsiders, but not so far-fetched to those who have worked inside the industry and seen the waste. I've seen obvious shitcoins repeatedly succeed while legitimate tokens never get any attention. In this industry, you can feel the unlimited currency coming straight off the money printers. It's just like Wall Street Bets in reverse except it's worth over a $ trillion and they're going after regular people instead of big hedge funds.
Yep, and we more likely have 100ks or millions of users for everything, so that is an immediate killer.

You can get great g/kwh for gas plants if you don't account for all of its stray methane emissions, and the accounting for that is rather pitiful nowadays.

The 2035 "low carbon gases" thing is just ridiculously unworkable and will be repealed later as unrealistic.

So at best, they'll just trading ~10 years of coal power for ~5 years of coal power followed by 40+ years of fossil methane power. That's a terrible trade.
Those reactors are a castle in the air and your comment regarding bio gas misses the point.
The idea is to label non renewable gas as green.
Most of these mushrooms are never found in Whole Foods and many are rarely found in markets.

Sure, but again, the 33 bits have to be a set of perfect dimensions. You’re severely downplaying how difficult it is to get them. It’s realistically not any different than saying, “if everyone had a unique ID, it would only take 33 bits to store that.” It’s not very meaningful.

In fact, it would be a major fucking deal if you could publish 33 dimensions that each bisect the population exactly.

“Keeps snakes” is a perfect example of something that isn’t good enough. It’s too infrequently true to be useful in the 33-bit uniqueness identifier.

I would have really loved to have different number types in JavaScript and to be able to define them with TypeScript. Not from the performance perspective (like different sizes) but integer vs float and unsigned vs signed can be really useful
I'm sincerely sorry if this answer doesn't help and it's not meant to be arch or sarcastic. But I have found that the more I like the work I am doing, the less interruptions bother me. I am fortunate to work from home, but it means many more such incidents than an office job.

Obviously I would like to be left alone while working, but I have handicapped and mentally ill people to care for my life is acutely interrupt-driven. My work is immensely enjoyable so I can recover pretty fast most of the time.

In the days I did work in an office, I found that I got an enormous amount of work done on evenings, weekends, or very early mornings. This required having a spouse who understood that work was important because it supported both of us.

One thing that helps me to focus on the task at hand is using Promodoro timers: 25 minutes focussed work, then 5 minutes break.

More generally, if distractions are bothering you or are making you nervous, I would recommend meditation. Meditation is the practice of focussing on the present. Try the waking up app (https://wakingup.com/), it is a good reason-based introduction to the practice and theory of meditation.
And Vitalik has a good blog post on what kind of decentralisation we are talking of with crypto and blockchain.

He says blockchain is logically centralized, which is what this post here is essentially talking about.

> The problem [with self-referential structs] seems to be that there is no way to promise rust that you will deallocate the entire struct properly.

That's not the problem. The problem is that Rust doesn't have move constructors. A move is just a memcpy. If a struct contains pointers to itself (in this case the references are just pointers) then memcpying it will invalidate the pointers.

I agree it's one of the biggest annoyances with Rust. For example a lot of parsing libraries return a parse result that contains pointers to the `&[u8]` that you gave it. If you want to return the parse result up the call stack past where the input comes from you end up with a self-referential struct and it's pretty much impossible.

There are complicated solutions but frankly they're all so complicated I've always given up and just copied the data or rearchitected the program.
You've somehow managed to bring up the probably unique topic (utter contempt for Craig Wright) that squarely unites crypto-lovers (because they know him to be the worst kind of scammer) and crypto-haters (who believe Wright to be canonically representative of the entire space).

That's quite a feat, but I somehow doubt you'll get upvoted much.
I've never picked a toxic mushroom. So while it's a risk one should be aware of, and you should know how to do it right, it's not that dangerous if you follow the safety advice. Just like most people don't get killed by sharks or fall of anboat.and drown when going fishing.
This is so not true it's not even funny: do try and get funding for any kind of denialism in the 2000's or any kind of mitigation-study in the 2010's, you will get some kind ear from many on the conservative side (conservation of-self-destruction). The work of the IPCC has been a slow slog for lack of funding.
I too, believe that while blockchain technology holds a lot of promise, it is not fulfilling the purpose of decentralization, due in large part to so many transparent cash grabs. The current crypto craze is nothing more than a fancy gold rush.

It will be interesting to see where blockchain technology ends up after the gold rush is over.
The second place should really be the winner. It’s absolutely astounding!
> They’re a danger to themselves and others. I have family members that work in health care that are affected by this. I don’t see why any further justification is necessary.

There is a lot more justification needed, because "They’re a danger to themselves and others." is a generalization that is potentially not true. Vaccinated people can still infect others, while an unvaccinated person can be more strict about testing and masking, which could in practice lead to better protection than just being vaccinated. Especially if the vaccination has been developed for the alpha strain and omicron seems not impressed by it, while for males under 40 the chance to contract myocarditis from vaccination is higher than for contracting it from covid.

I don't think that society has any right to bully individuals into taking a vaccine that has not been shown to really stop the spread and is not really efficient against the dominating strains of the virus. For making this an obligation, the results of the vaccine are not good enough, while this and the other counterarguments are not being discussed enough.
Plan the work and environment very well to avoid interruptions. Still if it comes, welcome the interruption, postpone addressing it if you can, address it if can't be missed. But most important thing is to don't react to it happening, so you can switch back to your tasks again with same rigor.
A friend's younger cousin from not far from there (Lowestoft iirc?) would say this - one memory I have is how he squished "can I play the computer?" to "ca' play compoota?"

There is a difference between topic of 'independence and freedom' and the 'topic of security' . They are somewhat related but not the same. If deviation toward the 'topic of security' from the 'topic of independence and freedom' observed and if 'independence and freedom topic' is presented as useless and unrelated to 'real life'. Intentionally or not - in both cases it can be considered as contributing to the "doom and gloom". So I am not sure I need to find other argument as it is provided each time when switching occurs from 'independence request' to ' it's good security'.

>... not a valid argument, especially not after 15 years of it not happening.

It's not about trusting or not particular company. The idea is to protect and insist on certain level of respect toward owners of the computers that no company would dare/able to diminish without consequnces.

>"Domino's added a pizza I don't like to their menu, what will be next? Their entire line up will be a horrible inedible mess in a few years!"

>See how stupid that sounds?

"what will be next" question was addressing the issue of trusting to any company and about level of dependency from any company for any owner of any computer. The context of the question was not about trusting particular company. When the context is switched then anything may appear "stupid" but then it is interpretation to blame not the question.

>All you have to do is not buy an iPhone (like I didn't either) and stop spreading FUD about Macs.

The issue I am discussing can not be resolved by marked and buying preferences and therefore 'just buy something else' would not work and cannot help.

Like I said above, it's not about trusting Macs or company. It's about pushing back against the tendency to make personal computers more dependent and less personal.

It's about respecting independence for the owner not about security, not about trust to a particular company. It's about making trust to the company irrelevant enough. It's about preserving level of respect to the owner which reduces dependency and importance of the trust to a particular company.

In the 90’s I worked at a Canadian company that developed a CNC machining training simulator.

> Signed is modular arithmetic with an offset.

it is not, it models integers (Z). The model only works in the bounds of what the platform can offer of course ; when you use "int" you say "this is an integer. In any case I'm supposed to encounter, adding two positive integers will yield a greater positive integer ; if I add numbers so big that my platform cannot represent the sum my program is meaningless anyways".

It is very unlike unsigned which models (much more accurately since it's much easier for our computers with finite memory) Z/pZ.
It’s very cool!

I used to use the Tokyo train system all the time. It’s a true marvel.

I noticed that the Musashino line was running 15 minutes late, this morning.

On Long Island, that would be annoying, but in Tokyo, that’s a train engineer, looking at a firing.

The one thing that always has annoyed me about the Tokyo rail system, is that the various lines are all run by different companies, and it can be hard to find “integrated” maps and schedules. I think that’s improving.

It looks like this map is integrated. Having information about what company runs each line, in the callouts, would be useful.

Reflect.

My other half is a nurse, her training included assignments on self reflection. There's a lot of good books for learning to process emotions.

Taking the time to reflect and then write it down (or talk) will help. Start by writing what happened and how you felt. This process is the start of letting go.

I agree with GP. When I started my career in 2000, people used C or C++ for pretty much everything. People wrote desktop GUI apps with MFC. People built web apps with cgi-bin, ISAPI, and C++ implemented COM objects consumed from asp classic. The only way to build mobile and embedded was C or C++ (PalmOS, Windows CE, later Symbian).

Eventually, some of that stuff was rewritten in languages like Java, C#, PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript. Other stuff was re-implemented for new platforms using Objective-C, or Google’s version of Java, or C# in Windows Phone/Unity/Xamarin.
I do both.

I have a server @home with Plex and few other services that are used mostly by myself and close relatives. Not something very public. It runs on a second-hand i7 NUC which is almost silent unless someone needs transcoding on content read from Plex.
But it's "no warranty" services.

And I rent a $20 server at OVH on which I put more public stuff. Like blog for myself or others and for which I don't want to be linked _directly_. For instance a friend's blog was under attack because some people didn't shared her ideas. I was covered by OVH's anti-DDOS. If it had been on my home server, I probably would had some _troubles_.
Same goes for the seedbox hosted on it. I don't have to set a VPN and put safety in place to make sure that not a single bit of data from the seedbox is shared without the VPN. I just run it exposing the public IP of the server and don't care. Worst case scenario is OVH taking down the server after (many) abuse reports.
Anyway, nuclear is never included in the "renewable" bucket, because the fuel has to be harvested and doesn't renew on a human timescale. Nuclear is green, because its net emissions are almost zero.

OTOH burning wood is renewable, but not green, and also not sustainable. So nothing inherently good about being renewable.

It's pointless to have a practical classification to then come with "technically..." and some weird and unpractical reason.

Quoting one of these comments:

> The argument with substracting 5 from 3 is not an argument against using unsigned. When you use signed you can run into a similar problem when the result underflows. This happens much less frequent and causes UB, at INT_MIN, which is the worst kind of bug. The bug is often not triggered durring testing and you will only notice it when it is too late.

The "When you use signed you can run into a similar problem" part is just not true in our world. 3 - 5 happens much more often than anything that may cause signed .*flow.

"signed underflow" "bug report"

yields 8 results on google FFS
>This wasn’t an autopilot problem. The problem occurred while still in takeoff roll.

Just an amateur here, I could be wrong.

It is true that according to the article, autopilot was not engaged and the pilot was following the flight director during the take off roll. However, had the pilots obtained positive climb, and satisfied autopilot activation requirements, and turned it on, wouldn't it be catastrophic if the altitude had not been set properly? [0]

About 400 to 500g of CO2 per kWh. That's everything but green. Plus as Norway and Netherlands production are in sharp decline, the proportion of EU natural gas coming from Russia, currently at 40%, is deemed to grow. That's mind-boggling stupid: let's get ourselves depending upon Russia and Putin, and let's replace are 15g/kWh nuclear plants with 500g/kWh gas plants! What could go wrong?

Because when C was standardized in 1989, there were a few vendors that wanted to support non-two's-complement hardware, and C has been stuck with that ever since. But more to the point, even on two's-complement hardware, the CMP instruction doesn't care about the signedness, but it typically sets flags (for those CPUs that have flags) for both signed and unsigned results, and there are different conditional branches one can take for less-than, less-or-equal, greater-or-equal, and greater-than.
