> It has to be nuclear, no?

No, it can be renewables.

> the insurance of one nuclear power plant would be around 70 billion per year. And we know from another recent story, that people doing those estimates are really good at math.

The insurance takes into account huge costs unreasonably added by politicians. This is not what you should look at for a scientifically sound comparison.
I agree but it’s very much feasible with good habits to go without a single symptom for years. I just gave you examples of people I know that have done that, and suddenly them all got COVID but you decided to gloss over that.
> Corporations don't have to maintain open source software under open source licenses if, for example, that software was released under MIT or BSD licenses.

If they own the copyright and control the only source code available, they can change the license regardless of whether it is permissive or copyleft currently.

If they do only the second, they can shut down the repo regardless of the license, even if they don't change the license, and unless it's something like AGPL continue internal use.

If they don't control the only archive of source code, then even if they can change the license going forward, other people can continue to distribute and fork off from the last Free version (again, irrespective of whether permissive or restrictive.) Unless they both own the copyright and have the legal power to retract the license offer for the earlier code (contrary to the usual express terms of license grants, which may be possible if it is a gratuitous license, but even if it is may not be fully effective in all cases because of promissory estoppel.)
Although I don't disagree with you, I think that number is much smaller that it might look like.

Same thing applies to home recorded albums or NPR style concerts.

What looks like just made on shoestring, its just the most exquisite work of very experienced professionals, making use of all their knowledge and years and years of experience. What looks like the use of minimalist resources, are smart choices whose modus operandi is only accessible to the best professionals.

NPR (Tiny Desk) concerts are the best example.
I have a hard time understanding how much maintenance an average “once a month to go to the park” rider that doesn’t live by the beach expects to do on a bike to worry about buying used.

I have a Klein from 2000 that has never needed more than a chain and tires. It’s beat up and I don’t ride it daily, but I doubt the Walmart buyer is riding daily either. The shocks are dead but I’ve even taken it to the trails as is and I had some fun.

I’ve had a Lemond (trek) for something like 6 years that I used to daily (1.5 years, 3mi each way) and I have only changed the handlebar tape because it was crumbly. Other than that I just lube the chain if it sits for too long. I’m even on the same tires I bought it with.
It is a curious fact that UTC is specified by the ITU in recommendation TF.460 https://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-TF.460-6-200202-I/en which also includes a specification for how radio time broadcasts should be formatted. I don’t know if any time signals actually use that format, tho.

That part of the ITU used to be CCIR, the international consultative committee for radio, which goes a little way to explaining it, but it is still strange that it isn’t the responsibility of the IAU, IERS, or SI.
idk what kind of genius people you've been surrounded by your whole life but dumbledore in that whole chapter presents his philosophy very clearly. Dumbledore is the non-rational soft-hearted man that had to learn his rationality through bitter life lessons instead of books, his character is entirely self consistent and believeable.

You haven't read the book and it shows, it's the only book I've ever read that is in stark contrast to all the rest because every character has its own life and it doesn't feel at all lazily written. Worm on the other hand felt entirely rushed and badly written because of the brisk pace it was released on. Worm didn't feel planned and coherent at all. If your bias with the book started with danluu's review and you confirmed that bias from one page / chapter then I'm truly sorry for you.

Since you seem like you'll never actually read it I'll go ahead and spoil it for you.. Harry's reason for being that wise and smart for his age is because he's basically a 50-year old hyper-rational individual that lost all his memories but kept his patterns of thinking, if that's not a good reason for the smartest 11-year old that ever lived idk what else is.
Yes, but also no- I see what you're saying from a high level, but my point is that the devil's in the details and that you can't know all the details of each domain, the best you can do is be aware that those details are there. Just being exposed to even a subset of the high-level is pushing the limits of a 4-year undergrad curriculum.

> What is a SQL query planner but a compiler?

Kind of? Lexing, sure, and to some extent IR, but an execution plan is not built from an instruction set, especially when you start talking distributed. Even if you ignore the distributed scenario, there's still a huge difference between understanding indices/columnar-storage/row-storage and implementing PGO or LTO.

Plus, there's also a lot of domain complexity here- are you aiming for just ANSI compat, or are you going deeper and trying to be compatible with specific SQL Server / Oracle / Postgres features?

> Is an OS scheduler really that different from an HPC workload manager, or your GPU's computer-shader arbitrator?

Knowing little about HPC or GPUs, all I can say is that yes, there's absolutely a difference between the kinds of issues a kernel, hypervisor, and distributed scheduler have to deal with. Hypervisors need to integrate with higher-level RBACs, for one; distributed schedulers also need to be able to evict bad machines from the same system.

Telemetry also changes massively: if you're dealing with a kernel/hypervisor, stats from things like strace etc are useful. If you're distributed? You now have multiple cardinality problems (hostname, network devices, microservice release ID).

> Is RDMA against an NVMe storage pool fundamentally new to you if you've already written hierarchical chunk persistence+caching for a distributed key-value store?

Again, yes (at least I assume so, I'm not super sure exactly what "NVMe storage pool" is, I assume you're talking about the protocol that SSDs speak) - e.g. what's your resilience story against a network failure (someone cutting a fiber line, or losing a subgraph of a clos fabric)?

I guess some people's exuberance can turn people off, but honestly its great in my opinion. Why should someone's joyful exuberance for something make his educational content not worth watching? The guy is obviously just very passionate about spaceflight and people who are pushing the boundaries of science/technology. I think 99% percent of the people I talk to approach this kind of stuff with mundane indifference and cynicism, so I think seeing someone genuinely passionate and excited by it is a breath of fresh air.

This is the same isolationist indifference by the US and Chamberlain's UK precipitating WW2. No is better off when the world gives free rein for authoritarians to exploit other peoples. The US and NATO isn't going to war over Ukraine. They will slap Russia with harsher sanctions (still won't cut off gas though!), cut them from SWIFT financial transactions, at which point Russian banks will switch to Russian SPFS which China and Europe, reluctantly, will implement to keep gas flowing. Only thing that changed is the Ukrainian people keep becoming worse off.

count(*) is always going to be slow. They don't store the number of live tuples, just an estimate so it's a full table scan. The secret is to use indexes to get down to a small bit that you care about. If you're filtering on 3 columns, the goal is to get the index to wipe out at least half the results you don't care about and so on and so forth.

A 130M record table with no indexes is going to be crazy slow. Although if all you need are primary key updates, then that's the way to go.
Not if they go unused or underused, or otherwise end up being less efficient and/or more costly overall than the alternatives. Then it's worse of both worlds.

Theoretical efficiency and real-world efficiency are different things.

Public transit isn't inherently good by virtue of existing without real-world benefits. (To assume or believe it good without proof would be dogmatic faith, not science.) And those benefits gained need to be greater than any and all offsetting costs lost.

There are far more real-world scenarios where busses and trains end up being far less efficient than driving and flying than vice-versa.

The difference in logistical degrees of freedom between the two sets makes bus and rail far too reliant on ideal geographic and operating conditions.

Yet it's always these few ideal scenarios that are the basis for most cost and efficiency comparisons & claims, and are what get presented as justification for building/implementing.

And the countless public transport systems that never get the ridership or revenue that their pre-construction cost/benefit analysis or environmental impact statements predicted is proof that they rely on overly optimistic assumptions that rarely pan out.
The next experiment might be from smoking to vaping it. If the benefit is lost, there may be some other active element that arises from its combustion; if not then it might be safer since vaping it would not create any tar.
> Literally setting up a paid one week period for a senior level candidate would cost, optimistically, a few hundred dollars for evaluating a single candidate.

It’s unworkable for anyone who is already employed. What am I going to do: use a week of vacation for this “interview”? (The fact that I’d be paid is immaterial: I lose vacation time. Plus, the more senior you are, the more of your compensation is in equity. Will I get a week’s worth of an FTE’s both salary and equity just for doing the interview? And at what job level? The highest for which I’m being considered?

This wouldn’t be viable for private companies because it would bloat the cap table with a massive number of insubstantial stockholders; and I believe that companies run into SEC compliance issues when they have more than a certain number (1000?) of stockholders.

Additionally, when I’m looking for a new position, I don’t just interview with one company. I typically aim to get between five and six offers (on a ~5 year cadence) to get an understanding of the spectrum of market rates for engineers, and to see what options are available. There’s no way I could spend weeks interviewing.

Maybe I would consider this if it was my “dream job”; but I’m not sure that the signal from such a trial would be better than typical interview.

Many companies have substantial technology stacks of proprietary infrastructure that you need to learn and become proficient with in order to be effective at your job. At recent employers, engineers have felt it takes 1-2 years to feel fully up to speed and effective using the company’s tech stack. With this kind of ramp up time, a one-week trial would only be useful with a make-work fake project.

My current employer spends six weeks full time just training all engineers who join the company - before they even begin to have actual responsibilities for doing work on their team.

Basic orbital dynamics make the "rods from god" concept unworkable. It's just a silly scifi fantasy. In order to achieve sufficient global coverage to hit time sensitive targets would take a huge and ruinously expensive satellite constellation. And the satellites themselves would be quite vulnerable. Any mission for such a system could be accomplished faster and cheaper with ground or submarine launched missiles.
> I understand any threat from e.g. China is fabricated, as any real war would be mutually assured destruction as both/all sides have nukes.

Both sides had poison gas in WWII, but nobody used it.

It's good to be able to counter China without having to go to nukes to do so.

Is any threat from China fabricated? Depends. Are we going to defend Taiwan, or not? If we are, then it's China who's "fabricating" the threat.
This sounds a bit like software transactional memory (STM), in the sense of giving threads the illusion of total freedom while keeping them separate in reality. In STM data races are solved by unwinding the victim thread, essentially allowing threads to ask for forgiveness instead of permission.

Crucially, this new scheme still allows for mutation of shared data structures as long as they were allocated before the thread's birth. You can enjoy parallel execution managed by the compiler, but maintain your ability to footcannon if you need to, and don't have anywhere near the bookkeeping overhead of STM.
Their experience, I guess. I know that, of the university professors and professional engineers I know, they are some of the smartest and also some of the dumbest people I've ever met. It's like they invent new ways to be wrong, sometimes. I can easily imagine any of them in a jury room talking complete nonsense about who did what and why and how the law shouldn't be that way or mean that and so they have to acquit--anything but actually listen, follow along, and apply the judge's instructions.

Ask HN: How do you teach 9-year old to code?
Yesterday my son (will be 9-year old in a couple of months) asked if I can teach him to code. Although I am a software engineer, I never thought about that.

My question is: If I do, what language should I teach my son at first? Currently I'm mostly familiar with Rust, and a little Python. I used to write C for 10 years and Java for 3 years. I also use Objective-C. I think, as common sense, I should use the language I am mostly familiar with (Rust), but I doubt that's a good idea for 9-year old.

I can tell you this is not true.

It's common at top companies - they are all competitive with FAANG comp. You will easily pull in $400-500k in total compensation as a mobile dev at sayyyy an AirBnB or similar. Roughly even split between base and equity.
The problem with absolutism: it ignores how trivial it is to copy and deploy a lot of modern programs. Condemning licenses which protect against juggernauts like Amazon leaves no middle ground between free software and proprietary software.
Preallocate the map and the entry ({V, next, prev}) objects. Replace next and prev and the map value with indices.
If you need time elapsed then you implicitly need a frame of reference in the same way that a clock time needs a time zone to be meaningful in a global basis. In practice if you wanted this it would mean having a timer colocated within your frame of reference as there is no scalar representation of a frame of reference that would allow you to do timestamp calculations. Timestamp math only works as a hack because we mostly stay relativistically close to Greenwich.

You might want to have a look at the Raku Programming Language (https://raku.org). It doesn't parallelize automatically, but only if you hint at it being ok, or if you are explicit (in this case using the `.hyper` method):

$ raku -e 'say (1..Inf).grep(*.is-prime).skip(999999).head'

Using whatever CPU cores are available (using `.hyper`):

This may the the case in a war but you have to recognize the other missions of the Navy, force projection and ensuring "freedom"(this is the stated mission but the navy stops ships to search them all the time) of the seas.

You can't do force projection with a submarine or satellite. This part of the Navy's mission hasn't changed much since the Great White Fleet. Surface ships will be a part of the Navy until Shields hover carriers come online. Also the Navy does do quite a bit of good with their carrier fleet as it makes a great base to run humanitarian mission during times when other infrastructure is down.
The tyranny of success.
> Hypersonic missiles are making surface ships are obsolete, similar to how carriers made battleships obsolete in WWII.

Not quite. Hypersonic missiles are expensive. Aircraft carriers solve the following problem: the easiest way to drop massive amounts of ordnance over the enemy from a large distance is via aerial bombardment. A "smart bomb" dropped from an airplane costs a few tens of thousands of dollars (the guidance kit is the expensive part), while a Tomahawk cruise missile is about 2 million. If you want to project power over distances of thousands of miles, you need air bases in friendly nations, or aircraft carriers (or both).

Hypersonic missiles are fine as a defensive weapon. They do represent a thread to the American carriers, but the US can change its doctrine to account for that.

Now ask yourself this: if aircraft carriers are becoming obsolete, why is China building them? Especially since they already have hypersonic missiles?
