Any forced displacement of people is tragic.

But

1. This is over 20 years, and the conflicts of the 20th C lasted 4-7 years at most.

2. To “except WWII” from comparisons of 20th C conflicts is disingenuous. 40M refugees in Europe alone. In a 7 year war. I’d guess the Asian population displacement, that gets less exposure in the US, would be at least another 40M (surprisingly hard to find a number in a cursory search).

https://refugeesandwar.wordpress.com/world-war-ii/

WWII was a very big deal.

3. Not normalizing to world population at the time of the other conflicts is also disingenuous. Another factor of three, when comparing WWI world pop figures to today.

So, that argues for about a factor of ten adjustment down for comparison purposes and, no, you can’t ignore WWII.

Having the raw numbers by country for post-9/11 conflicts available from this paper is a real contribution.
That's what communes were historically used for. Examples include the Paris commune, and Josiah Warren's various experiments [1]. I also just discovered this wiki article while trying to remember another example (it was Freetown Christiania), which is pretty cool: [2].

Well put.

I'm amazed at some of the idioms I hear about comparable radiation doses.

These idioms often completely overlook things like dose duration.

do you know why there is no article how bad coal is? because everybody knows but unfortunatly most people do not understand how fucking bad fukushima even is, people like you that try to make nuclear look cool just because there exists something worse does not make nuclear look cooler.
I'm definitely a massive fan of some of zig's ideas

I like how flexible structs are, and the inclusion of structural subtyping for them. I do wish C's unnamed fields made an appearance, however.

The way type constructors work is also really great. It's just "yeah it's literally a constructor that returns a type, like the same syntax and everything"

I'm a little concerned about how long zig is willing to defer semantic analysis and possible difficulties with symbol binding in generic code (the binding rules end up being closer to C macros than C++ templates I think). But, the language doesn't have overloading, which makes the symbol binding problems much, much, much less severe.

It has a lot of the same qualities that make me like C. It can represent the data structures I want to write and the code I want the compiler to generate, it makes using it's escape hatches ergonomic, and it's obvious what's going on, especially to unfamiliar folks looking at zig code in a debugger. Also embedding a full C compiler into the zig compiler is absolutely the correct way to do FFI. C++ level compatibility with C without all the baggage (it's kinda amazing how annoying C's conversion rules are once you add overloading and templates tbh).

It really is _staggering_ how long the compiler will defer actually doing sema and generating real code though, so we'll see.
The lowest is just over 1000ft below sea level. You probably don't want to be flying full speed at 0ft sea level there either.
Kinetic energy is a good measure for a baseball, because essentially all of the kinetic energy is being transferred from the small object to you.

Kinetic energy is not a good measure for a car or B-52, as after the collision the large object has essentially the same kinetic energy, and a very small fraction has been transferred to you.

A bicycle is more toward the small object side, as a pedestrian is going to absorb a good fraction of the kinetic energy of the rider, which is much larger than the kinetic energy of the bicycle itself.
These business space missions are using 60 year old propulsion technology and it's pretty easy to figure out the math that shows that a fuel tank the size of the planet cannot take you to any other habitable planet. Scientists -know- that the best way to learn about space and the universe at this point is to build huge telescopes. For profit companies will not save us.
Yep, shielding will be critical. The paper linked above has this interesting note:

> Settlements on the Moon will provide additional shielding because they will be buried beneath layers of lunar regolith. While this would decrease the dose rate from charged particles, the absolute contribution from neutrons is expected to increase for shielding constructed from in situ resources, as borne out by measurements with the Apollo 17 Lunar Neutron Probe Experiment. These showed that the flux of thermal and epithermal neutrons increases significantly up to a depth of approximately 150 g/cm2 (31).

So plans to shield lunar occupants using the moon's own materials will need to compensate for the ionizing radiation that those materials are already emitting, separately from cosmic/solar radiation.
Right? I went up to a cashier the other day and she said, “You know you can order from your table using your phone, right?”

> That’s less significant than you might think as US GDP is almost 1/4 of global GDP and foreign countries don’t keep that many USD on hand. Aka even in global terms US GDP is vast.

Sure, but the value of the dollar (like everything else) is in how easy it is to get (supply). The US GDP is not a measure of the supply of dollars on the market, it is a measure of how often those dollars are exchanged.

> Bitcoin has significantly more vulnerabilities than just a 51% attack or a crash as nodes need to be connected to the internet and therefore can at least in theory be hacked.

That's fair, if we're including implementation vulnerabilities, it does expand the potential problems quite a bit. The post I was responding to was specifically about a 50 + 1 attack. Though if we include these, we should probably also expand physical currencies' problems to include counterfeiting in that case.
> Mass produce 5-10 year old tech in bulk

I really wonder if the tech/equipment to do this is actually also unavailable - preventing any competition from starting up. I think it's the same logistical bottleneck that is hitting everything, not some monopoly conspiracy, and if that's the case, by the time bottlenecks clear up, the demand for such items would also drop (as the higher end stuff becomes available again).

But the other side of the argument is that the game is amazingly complex, and this level of complexity may not be possible if you add in a 2nd developer - their vision would conflict, or compromises given early on that prevents future complexity to be added.

AKA, a 20 year project with 1 developer could take more than 20 years with two (to reach the same level of complexity)!

Green is a spectrum, and a subjective one at that. Even if we limit ourselves to CO2 emissions, an absolutist stance eliminates solar and wind for the emissions in their erection.

No amount of telescopes will provide the off-world low-g manufacturing capabilities necessary to build the logistics we need.

The moon is both low-g and has wonderful built-in radiation shielding (one of our biggest current blockers) via the simple process of going underground.

I don't think you or I are qualified to make absolute statements about the involvement of for-profit companies in that.
The closest thing I can think of is HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) in the food industry.
have you looked at ParaSail. It's designed by the guy who led the Ada 9x ('95) design team and it's unique in being pointer free (not just like in ada or Fortran where pointers are discouraged, but the language literally does not have them). Instead of pointers it has grow-able types based on memory tagging. It's specified such that each sub-expression can be safely executed in parallel.

OK, but the same applies to wind turbines. I don't see a lot of Teslas hauling wind turbines down I-80. Let's not set up double standards just for nuclear.
Is it really unexpected failures or do they discuss scenario / do you expect one of a few typical scenarios?

Really throwing failures at pilots without them knowing what's going on seems to mean too many fail or rather there is not enough time to train pre-discussed scenarios and do scenarios that aren't announced.

I'm not sure it's really what you'd want.
> And one point Viral makes abundantly clear is that, if our goal is to prevent the next pandemic, then resolving the mystery of COVID-19 matters less than one might think. This is because, whichever possibility—zoonotic spillover or lab leak—turns out to be the truth of this case, the other possibility would remain absolutely terrifying. Read the book and see for yourself.

Apparently the book does not only focus on lab leaks.

I get your point, but it's also not entirely accurate to say the workflow and tools aren't part of the art.

I agree that modern version control would offer benefits, but maybe in moving to git Tarn would decide to sha1 everything internally, which would have some ultimate impact on the game that results.
PAKE is highly phishing resistant. If you type your password for an important website into a browser-controlled PAKE UI, but you’re being phished and the browser tries to authenticate to a malicious website, the worst the website can do is guess one single password. It can’t relay the password to the real website.
It certainly makes a good argument in favor of the "We shouldn't have laid off our editors in the last budget crunch" hypothesis.

I run quite a few FOSS project and I'd be happy to get some help on moving forward or reviving these projects. The reason why I ask for help is pretty simple, I have too many things to handle as a solo dev!

1. www.webminal.org 10+ year old side project. I tried to make it monetized without much success. Now I got
sponsors for server. That covers financial burden to keep servers running. I'm primarily looking for front-end dev to improve this project.

2. If you are interested in python and automation: https://gitlab.com/giis/distroQA/ This project, it does OS image testing with Docker containers.

3. If you interested in Android app development:
In 2016, I developed some Rooted(TWRP) Android apps. Seems like they removed from playstore now. I think these apps can be revived and uploaded to F-Droid.org Some references here:

> I think this is because it can only search on whole words.

This is provably not true. Gmail supports stemming. If you search for [subject:does], you'll get plenty of emails with just "do" in the subject. Same with singulars/plurals.

It used to be supported in the early years, then it was dropped (either too expensive or a limitation of a new backend) and finally it was brought back after another backend rewrite 8-9 years ago.

If you really want wildcards, though, stemming won't cut it.
They can't, because their working conditions are terrible compared to those other airlines. Nobody with thousands of hours of jet time would ever switch from a US or EU legacy carrier to someone like Emirates.
Interesting. I've heard of it, but hadn't paid much attention to it. I'll try to check it out. My favorite apple blogger gives a review here: https://adamapples.blogspot.com/2010/03/lady-alice.html

He gives it 2 stars, which is a very high rating for him. He does have a few other modern apples that he gives an equal rating to, but he's only got 5 apples rated higher: Ashmead's Kernel, Cox's Orange Pippin, Macoun, Reine de Reinettes (King of the Pippins), Wickson. He has Pink Lady at 1 star, which is perfectly respectable.
Even if no existing coins switch to PoS (spoiler: many will), the PoS coins will suck up fee-paying users from the PoW coins, reducing the returns on mining, which will result in lower network hashpower. It may also bring a second-order effect of reducing the prices of PoW coins, which will reduce dollar-denominated block rewards on those networks, and that will bring hashpower down even farther.

that's an interesting suggestion that i have not thought about before!

And it makes sense - running a test twice doesn't take _that_ much extra time, but it can catch problems with the test itself!

It's truly unexpected failures,in the context of flying the plane. Basically every failure state in flying has a procedure, and as a pilot you're expected to memorize some, and know how to find and follow the checklist or red page for all emergency situations. Beyond that, you have to know how to assess and evaluate any emergency because that's your job.
Retrofitting is going to be much more than the cost of the unit itself though. You can't just replace an on-demand gas boiler with a heat pump. The rest of the heating system is completely different between the two, it just wouldn't work. It's especially problematic in apartments where there is limited space.
> why even bring them up together

Because reams of news articles are written about one but not the other, feeding the incorrect perception that one is vastly more dangerous than the other.
I've noticed that people tend to have varying differences in their mental map of organization. If you view a codebase as largely monolithic with only a few states such as previous/backup, current, and future/editing, the addition of version control may not help workflow. Editing is always a rolling-release model, be it backwards or forwards (at least that's what I interpret from "there is kind of an active molten core that I have a much better working knowledge of" in the article.
If version control were introduced, you would now be tasked to actively divert workflow to the versioning software, such as when reverting commits, etc. You don't create a repo for trivial objects, such as a simple shell script you write for your personal desktop, so it's easy to see this applied to scale, especially with a single-person codebase like DF. For the script example, a file will typically have undo/revert history in an editor, which itself is a limited form of version control. So there obviously has to be some form of version control used by the author other than file copying, albeit not as explicit as git.
I think it's unfair to call it a mistake unless you're directly affected. In the 20 years of (solo?) development of DF, do you not suppose a rational person would adopt versioning were a lack thereof impacting them noticeably? So obviously it's a non-issue as far as scope of the codebase goes.
So you mean svn?

They have literally hundreds of these tanks. They were building them every few days.

Why does the distinction of direct vs indirect matter when the question is about opportunity costs of deploying talent to potentially more fruitful endeavors?
Here's the calculation based on the NRCP's 2009 estimates for the US[1]: the average US inhabitant is exposed to 3.11 mSv/year, or 3110 uSv/year. That's an average of 8.52 uSv/day, compared to 1369 uSv/day on the Lunar surface.

For the US, that's a factor of ~155x, not the ~200x that I saw in popular media, so I'm not sure where they got the latter from. But "over 150 times the daily exposure of the average American" isn't fantastic.

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_radiation#Backgroun... has other numbers for "background only" exposure in various parts of the world. The US seems to be among the higher areas for latent exposure, so it's probably safe to say that the 155x number is on the lower side of things.
