My understanding of nuclear power economics is that the bulk of the cost is incurred at construction, and that you can maintain minimal capability at a comparatively affordable rate. Closing operational reactors makes no economic sense either, and the argument in Germany has mostly been environmental and safety related (since the accident in Fukushima).

I think this is great and thanks for doing this! I have three small suggestion:

1. For masks that fail on marking issues but not filtering efficiency, could they get a third category that’s not pass or fail (something like ‘non-compliant’)?

2. I wish you could filter on pass/fail

3. I wish you included/could filter on price per box and price per mask.

What the point in being this pedantic? Green energy is energy that has a significantly lower negative impact on the environment. In 50-100 years maybe wind and solar won't be considered green anymore, but at this moment they are. There's no activity without an impact on the environment.
I think something that's not much noticed outside of the German-speaking countries is that there's a fairly large cultural movement that I would describe as naturist/esoteric ever since the 19th century.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensreform

This influenced all kinds of German movements both on the left and right side of the political spectrum and for instance is the reason why nudism and homeopathy are so popular. I think it's also one of the explanations why COVID vaccination rates are currently lower than in Western and Southern Europe.

This also leads to all kinds of absurd things like "vitalized water"[1] being used in hospital water systems in Austria.

There’s also a ton of lesser known languages in China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_China

> The Chinese (or 'Sinitic') languages are typically divided into seven major language groups, and their study is a distinct academic discipline. They differ as much from each other morphologically and phonetically as do English, German and Danish, but meanwhile share the same writing system (Hanzi) and are mutually intelligible in written form. There are in addition approximately 300 minority languages spoken by the remaining 8% of the population of China. The ones with greatest state support are Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur and Zhuang.

No - I agree with upthread that the Irish war of independence, Kenya insurgency, etc count as revolutionary moments. They're just not revolutions that reached the capital. I think you could even count Ian Smith's extremely rightwing UDI of Rhodesia as "revolutionary".

I am somewhat arbitrarily ruling out anything that might count as a palace coup. Revolutions led by or installing someone who is a blood relative of the deposed monarch probably don't count as "popular" either (e.g. "Glorious Revolution").

Coincidentally, one of the safest sources of energy also produced the most dangerous and long-lasting problems, for which the only solution so far is to run away and leave the land empty. Luckily, we still have plenty of land to move in. For example, if something serious will blow up in Europe (non-zero probability), we all can immigrate to the USA.

The "victims" were victims of Soviet policy, not of nuclear energy.

A majority of the deaths due to fallout would've been prevented if The Party would've admitted they messed up and told everyone to eat canned food for a few weeks. Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days. Maybe even distributed more iodine pills for the population.

But nope, The Party could do no wrong and was always right, so they did nothing and said nothing.

The day that every statement of unfortunate fact has to be prefaced by an expression of emotional disapproval...

that is the day I officially give up on our already laughable species.

No one should have to explicitly state their disapproval of something unpleasant -- it can go without saying.

And I, for one, prefer to get facts and information without a person's opinion on the matter -- nothing could be less important to me than a given individual's emotional perspective on a matter.

It's of no interest to me how other people feel about something in forming my own judgements, and there's a high probability that their "feelings" will be poorly justified/based on misunderstanding/entirely insincere/etc.

I care about the data, and I'll form my own opinion on it.

Still, try and stay both observant and open-minded the first months of your new position, and evaluate with the people there, maybe you're not a good fit (maybe it's because they're a terrible place to work for, but maybe they're not and would be willing to accommodate you if they're informed in a polite and constructive way).
No. It is absolutely centralized. To discover who's really in control of bitcoin, all you have to do is propose an upgrade that improves network but reduces miner profits.

This is not an impossible standard nor is it a fallacy. Either it's decentralized or it's not. Either it's fungible or it's not. Bitcoin is neither.
the real advantage of php seems to me is not in "generic" web projects that start from scratch but the very popular domain specific frameworks that have been build on php (blogs, wikis, etc)

while python is gaining ground on such specialized areas (e.g things build on top of django) it is still very far behind in terms of adoption
No not the characters themselves, the point of view. Like if they show you an opening sequence where the first thing you see is Bart Simpson spelling out by rote a line that is funny and does change episode to episode, then Homer Simpson fumbling a stereotypical regulus, like is it supposed to be radium, which does glow green, or more likely uranium, which is what powers a nuclear plant? It doesn't matter. You trust that someone who just told a funny joke will tell another funny joke, so you laugh without thinking it over.

Hey, free advertising for you and your search engine:

Marginalia search, by punishing ad- and tracking-heavy pages and by being strict in how it interprets my queries sometimes surfaces better results than Google and DDG.

In particular I have found great resources about Linux partitioning and git usage after giving up mainstream search engines and trying them in marginalia.

That says quite something about how badly broken the situation is given that marginalia is one person and a tower pc in a living room.

I keep getting reminded about a Linux quote on how they managed to go forward by studying the latest 20 years of OS research and throwing it all away :-)
Green threads (gunicorn/gevent) allows you to write Python the way you always have and gain many of the benefits of async.

I wondered the same, but it seems the multicore OCaml implementation of those benchmarks was last touched 2 years ago, and the top level README with the benchmark results was also last updated for the OCaml results around that same time. So maybe just rerunning those tests with the latest version would give better results?
People are bad at statistics.

The probability of a catastrophic event in a modern nuclear plant is vanishingly low. Even the overworked ancient plants from the 60's and 70's we are currently running are exceedingly safe.

People will rather take constant death from coal power than risk a low-probability event.
History:

1986 - Chernobyl happened. Wasn't our fault, but we got the fallout for it. Poisoned drinking water, people in quarantine and everything. And we were the lucky ones, the map for the East doesn't look any good. [4]

1991 - The "Schnelle Brueter" (SNR-300 / Kalkar) almost went up during a test. Political debate around investing additional 105 Mio DM was happening, but due to Chernobyl was leading against it. [5]

~1989 The THTR-300 (Thorium High Temperature Reactor) was spreading radioactive particles in the surrounding area, poisoning soil, water, and people. Additionally it was emitting too much radiation through burned particles [1]

1969-1998 - The SBH-Uran (Siemens Brennelementwerk Hanau) was closed down. The reactor didn't fullfill the legal requirements for handling enriched Uranium, and Siemens couldn't prove that they can fullfill them afterwards. [2]

1972-2011 - The KKW/AKW (Kern/Atomkraftwerk Kuemmel) was having a meltdown in 2005. 2 years later during cooldown phase, there was a fire, leading almost to an explosion. [3] The aftermath was poisoning surroundings with radioactive particles, as always.

--- --- ---

Note that years of cooldown is literally by-design and cannot be avoided. During the phase of an almost-meltdown and a cooldown phase afterwards, everything is at-high-risk for _YEARS_ where everything can literally explode any second if not done correctly. And these are only the cases I personally know about during my lifetime, there are probably more that never made it public and were successfully contained.

So yeah, as a German I'm pretty much against radioactive reactors. This shit is highly unstable tech and should be treated as such. Especially given the lack of cybersecurity and/or outdated and unstable/never-even-patchable tech stacks running this.

Also: France is putting their reactors on their Far-East border for a reason. Winds are more than 90% of the year from North-West to South-East, so I'd say they want the tech but don't want to deal with the aftermath.

Also: Where do you store the radioactive trash? Simply where you bury all your plastic - in landfills - and build some homes over them to ignore it for a couple generations... or what? Ever thought about trash that needs to be sealed off and contained for _hundreds of years_ to come?

I'm not saying coal plants are favorable (they're definitely not), but things like the NIF or established green tech like solar/wind energy makes far more sense to me - considering the risk tradeoffs.

While I had no idea that Germany was volcanically active (thanks for the link!), this doesn't seem to be an ongoing thing.
I add to that list:

* Most countries have to import uranium exactly as they have to import oil. They don't have to import sun and wind.

* If a nuclear power plant seriously fails (2 accidents in 70 years) nobody and their nephew's nephew's will be able to live in that area. If a dam fails at least that ground is not lost forever.

* Building, managing and eventually decommissioning a nuclear power plant has its own CO2 impact if we do it using fossil fuels.

This is a fair assessment IMHO: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/nuclear/nuclear-power-an...

And so does Rails and Sinatra in Ruby land.

I have encountered very few development servers that lacked hot-reloading in decades. Many such stacks will even inject some JS or headers to automatically refresh the browser for you on detected changes.

I think OP may have an outdated or skewed experience of web-development stacks. Where PHP through apache+mod_php had "instant code refresh" back in early 2000s, and other stacks (Beans, CGI, etc) required a manual reboot everytime you'd want to check your changes in a browser. But this hasn't been true since Rails was released in 2004~5.

Ironically the most difficult one I recently encoutered was a PHP-FPM with APC, that required a "manually" restart of nginx and php-fpm in the right order after every code change. But this really is not suited as "development" server, as shown in this anecdotal issue.

> You've ignored my earlier point about pure functions that are allowed to have side effects.

I was more hoping that you would read what they actually wrote. If one bothers to actually click the link on vlang.io which refers to "pure functions" it would go to (https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md#pure-func...) their documentation where they elaborate on it further.

There you will find, "V is not a purely functional language however".

You are arguing (or condemning) from the perspective of what is a pure function, where there are various opinions about such. V's documentation gives their interpretation and explanation on what is a "pure function".

Thus they are not lying, attempting to deceive, or hiding anything. Click the link, get their explanation about pure functions. Arguing about the "purity" of pure functions or the possibility of side effects happening, is somewhat similar to arguing about what is or is not "real" OOP. There are different interpretations of such. It can become a more philosophical debate than about practical programming.

> ...to be constantly accused of something I'm not doing...

Reading your other comments on this thread (in other locations), it does appear that you are a Go language supporter. Nothing wrong with that and you are definitely entitled to your opinion. Not saying you are doing anything malicious, but rather people are allowed to also have a different opinion to what you have stated, or like the V language as you appear to with Go.
Not to be polemic, but what's a "drive"? What's a "T"? The people who ask that are why you might speak of CD-ROMs instead.
I think that these tests are way more tolerant that instructions make it. It is just that there is not much downside in being overly precise.

Even if the tests can work if you add between 1 and 100 drops, if you are told to add between 1 and 100 drops, what are you going to do? 1? 10? 50? 100? open the vial and eyeball it? It creates unnecessary confusion. So you just say "add 10 drops", not because you need exactly that many, but because it is the instruction that will make it the least likely to screw up.

It is the same for cooking recipes. The two ways to not screw up is to follow the recipe to the letter, or to understand the underlying idea. The latter requires some experience in cooking. Covid self tests are intended for people with no experience, so, they make you follow the recipe to the letter.

> Modern economists talking about "interest rates" are talking about the base interest rate which is the cost of bank borrowing which creates new money.

I find it interesting how fundamentally this "base interest rate" has changed after transitioning away from a gold standard. During the gold standard, this interest rate was simply the short term interest rate (also called the "discount rate") and did not involve the creation of new money (gold). So, during the gold standard, it was paid out of the existing supply of money (gold), whereas now it's created out of thin air.

Farm animals are bred by humans, not taken from the wild, so you wouldn't be introducing any new animals to the wild, to "deal with brutality". You'd simply not bred new animals to live in farms.

Also, I think even small family farms practice male chick culling, so it's not really a great status quo.
