It's interesting when discussing nuclear safety, proponents always say that modern reactors are much better than old designs, but when we talk about shutdowns they complain that reactors which have been running much beyond there original design lifetime are being shut down.

Moreover to blame the current price hikes on the nuclear shutdown is dishonest at best 8 of the 17 nuclear reactors in Germany were shut down in 2011 (and IIRC all of the were 40 years and older) without this causing a big price hike. Of the remaining only the last 3 were shut down in 2021 (the youngest being 31 year, with IIRC original permits being 40 years). It is also false to say that Germany replaced nuclear with coal, because coal reduced significantly as well during the same time, while renewables raised rapidly.

One could just as well argue that it's Frances fault for not investing in renewables at all (growth of renewables is tiny in France compared to Germany). Also of note is that nuclear relies just as much on gas peakers as renewables.

It's also funny that you blame the greens for the 12/2020 ringhals shutdown, because it was shut down by vattenfall due to low profitability[1].
This was one of two shutdowns the other was in 2019, so both also had very little to do with current prices.

Nah, that’s FUD. I had a pretty easy time setting it up myself. You only have to setup SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Which is pretty easy by itself. You even have online services to check that you have set it up everything correctly.

It might be a cultural thing but a slice toaster is way more of a set and forget operation, which I like... also, a toaster gets based used for one thing and a toaster oven is used for a lot of other foods, and I have to worry about cross contamination.
Good. Crypto was not meant to be regulated. Good to know that there’s a crypto exchange that won’t ask stupid questions when buying or selling crypto for fiat.
"deprecate" and "remove" are not synonymous and I don't see any indication they are being conflated here. Deprecation often precedes removal but that's the extent of it.

Deprecation generally means continued use of tool/API/etc. is actively discouraged. Users of a deprecated tool/API/etc. should find a suitable alternative for all their remaining use cases. In this case, once this shortener is officially deprecated, anyone using a git.io URL for any purpose should replace it with an alternative.

Deprecation is usually a precursor to removal. Once the tool/API/etc. has been deprecated long enough (relatively speaking), it's generally consider as safe as practical to remove the tool/API/etc. from service. That lead time can range anywhere from months to years.
I don't care about the morality of flying and I'm not suggesting they should, either. That's the whole point. Of course they use stronger language wrt activities they look down upon than for activities they don't.

I mostly deal with single mode and in industrial environments, on top of the safety hazard fibers left dangling tend not to work when plugged back in due to dust. There are special connectors for applications such as ship to shore that address these issues.

Maybe a laser in your eye is an acceptable risk in your home but I doubt it is an acceptable hazard in a work place.
It's actually impossible as far as I can see as long as you have unsafe memory access via pointers and memory is used to hold information about control flow and local variables, because overwriting memory can then do weird and wonderful things to the state of the program. E.g. local variables can magically change values, but worse, the control flow of your program can be hijacked in pretty arbitrary ways.

It would be great if this wasn't possible, because then you wouldn't have a whole class of security vulnerabilities.

On older systems without memory protection, the situation is even worse - you could scribble all over the OS memory as well and who knows what happens then.
Big places have bet pretty big on docker.

Docker also seems like the quickest option to come out of AWS (ie, ECS or friends) and try fly - so I'd continue chasing a bit of a docker story if you could (even just in docs -> getting going with Docker).

definitely agreed. these are infernal machines, unnatural & bad. they have their own invisible means of operation. more and more the operations are not even local, are part of some far off world we are not privy too. it's such a sad fate for computing, for something that could and should be revealing & malleable[1].

from "The Ecology of Freedom" thread came an interesting reference i haven't gone through yet, "Towards a Liberatory Technology"[2]. i'm very excited to check this out. there's a lot of personal hopes i have- i believe strongly in re-de-mainframing computing, in making it personal again, in revealing the thing & letting humans back into the loop. I also think we need better safeguards as we go- ideas like software transactional memory & checkpoint/restore, not just for programmers, but as user tools. to help us better be able to safely experiment & toy with systems. our options are so limited when things are not going well. the frustration is real.

it's also worth pointing out that probably some % of these frustrations are blaming the messenger for the message. we do get bad news, frustrating work emails, & other drags via computers. or we hear bad news. the computer connects us to so much, is a foci, but it's only some of the time it's actually computing itself that we are responding to during our interactions with it.

Also the infotainment. And real questions because I'm genuinely curious: do driver assists (ABS, ASR, TCS) and their adjustments rely on processors? What about in-car adjustments to suspension height, ride firmness, throttle response (e.g. eco vs sport vs comfort modes)? Lane keep assist, blind spot checking, adaptive cruise control all seem like things that would require processing power as well.
The idea that the Great Lakes are going to be tapped to solve water problems outside the watershed is fall flat when they realize those Great Lakes states aren't going to sell off access like that.

"For my PhD thesis I found out that you didn't need an orthogonal basis set to do quantum mechanical calculations but rather you could do it just fine with an overdetermined basis set such as coherent states over p and q so long as you had resolution of unity over the basis set"

Isn't this just a fact from the definition of R^n topologies? i.e. There are only n-basis vectors possible and any transformation of them which is still R^n will be linearly related to those original n-basis vectors. (It's been over a decade since LA, though, so I'm not 100% on my verbiage.) Put another way, any non-zero determinate/linearly independent set of vectors within R^n can have at most n-elements.

"Pretty unusual" is what I'm disputing. I'd say it's far from "pretty unusual" for average, regular people to go on holiday outside Europe.

The midwest has some of the greatest engineering schools in the nation. I have been beating this drum hoarse for a few years now - but it's true. Specifically, members of the Big 10 conference are probably the best engineering schools conference in the world. Within 300 miles from Columbus (where you have Ohio State - Big10), you have Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, UIUC, Indiana, Purdue from the Big 10 along with Carnegie Mellon, Case Western and Pitt. Even the state of California doesn't have so many so good tech schools.
I am in Columbus Ohio.

Columbus Ohio is one of the fastest growing city in the USA and MidWest. Population growth is high too. A lot of people from other Ohio cities are moving to Columbus Ohio. https://www.nbc4i.com/news/local-news/columbus-among-fastest...

Ohio State University is very close to this site.

Huge immigration population with a science degree.

Columbus is within 600 miles of 60 percent of American population.

A lot of cheap farm land outside of Columbus area.

To be honest, the former New Mexico Cabinet Secretary and current bartender seems to be quite a complainer: he left his job and NM out of a rather general fear[1], now inexplicably working as a bartender[2]; he then proceeds to basically complain about how shitty jobs are indeed shitty, and notably not making a cogent point regarding economic and societal root causes of labor shortage. He vaguely attributes them as due to older people retiring early (many indeed are), but in most examples of people quitting (i.e. the entire kitchen staff) don't fit his thesis. I'd expect more depth from someone whose cabinet post was focused on labor.

He's similarly dismissive with statements like "But since the kids out here don’t have to work because for the most part their parents are rich, getting them hired and wanting to stay is really hard." A little bitter, perhaps?

It seems to all be about his worldview and personal identity being based on being a victim; he and everyone he's working with are all fellow victims. And nowadays, victim-hood carries enormous cache -- they're today's heroes.

Is that really the deciding factor? What percentage of the population it happens to?

Why?
With a similar lack of knowledge, I believe that although conceptually simpler, the maths is much harder to work with.
Anything but the flag.

Why not use full language names?

I am very tired of seeing one flag represent my language where that is the newer nation using that language as national language. But that language is spoken for a thousand years or more in other regions.
Yes but it does nothing of the sort…
Thanks for making an example!

I'm against compiling this particular example to return a constant. I presumably wrote the awkward and unnatural construction return *x because I want to to force a load from x at return. If I wanted to return a constant, I'd have written it differently! I'm odd though in that I occasionally do optimizations to the level where I intentionally need to force a reload to get the assembly that I want.

Philosophically, I think our difference might be that you want to conclude that one answer to this question directly implies that the "compiler can't omit any load", while I'd probably argue that it's actually OK for the compiler to treat cases differently based on the apparent intent of the programmer. Or maybe it's OK to treat things differently if f() can be analyzed by the compiler than if it's in a shared library.

It would be interesting to see whether your prediction holds: do a majority actually want to return a constant here? My instinct is that C programmers who complain about the compiler treatment of UB behavior will agree with me, but that C++ programmers dependent on optimizations of third party templates might be more likely to agree with you.
Ideally yes but it's really hard to find fully metal driking bottles.

If you buy something like a Sigg aluminium bottle or no-name copy it will be lined with some kind of plastic.

If you use a light weight drinking bladder that will be plastic too. I've read that risk is much higher if you apply heat to a plastic container. This is why you should avoid microwaving in plastic containers.

So that leaves you either only using a cold liquids in plastic and accepting some risk or buying expensive (and relatively heavy) titanium drinking bottles.

What is the meaning of this comment? Are you highlighting the article title because you think that it’s incorrect in the context of this fab being built? Fabs like this are automated to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining jobs are mostly high-skill. The article makes this point directly.

> Here’s the problem: Whether or not those manufacturing jobs could have been saved, they aren’t coming back, at least not most of them. How do we know? Because in recent years, factories have been coming back, but the jobs haven’t. Because of rising wages in China, the need for shorter supply chains and other factors, a small but growing group of companies are shifting production back to the U.S. But the factories they build here are heavily automated, employing a small fraction of the workers they would have a generation ago.

Maybe I'm just an old man yelling at clouds, but I always found the use of emoticons and emoji in official documents extremely off putting. If you want to look hip and cool, at least do so only where appropriate - public-facing technical documentation needs to be articulate and maximally accessible.

Not to mention how inconvenient it is to actually add emoji. Chances are that the person who wrote that page didn't draft it from a phone with an easily accessible emoji keyboard, nor from a physical keyboard with emoji bindings. So they'd have to go out of their way to open up an on-screen emoji keyboard, or an emoji webpage, and paste those emojis one by one.
Why is it UB to use registers to store variables? This seems like an implementation detail. The ISO C spec doesn't even have the word "stack" as far as ctrl-f can show me.
I'm not suggesting that it's not FOSS firmware, just that it runs on its own controller and is flashed independently of the main system. Kind of like how the Pinephone modem runs its own Linux, but without the blobs that that uses (modems are more proprietary than power controllers need to be)

Two questions.

1. Why not the .md URL for everybody?

2. Is this really a problem with Zoom or one with Wayland and the Linux distros? I mean Fedora switched to Wayland in 2016 and the screensharing API was added only in 2018. A rushed deployment?

Then maybe the Wayland team should make a list of the applications that must absolutely work with Wayland and support their vendors to release a correct implementation, not the screenshotting implemented by Zoom. I know time and money are finite but replacing X11 is a huge task. I'm still on X11 exactly because of problems like this one.
Where does it say that the amount consumed is taken into account? That guideline is referring to the number of consumption occurrences per-week, not the amount used.

Which is the tobacco equivalent of classifying someone as a heavy drinker because they're using red wine as a trace ingredient in cooking several times a week, and considering that the same as consuming 4 vodka bottles over a span of 4 evenings every week.

Or, to bring this back to the example that started this thread, and which you seem to be thoroughly missing, to regulate numbers of radiation exposures per week. Without taking into account whether that's from standing outside in the sun for 10 minutes, eating a banana, or standing next to an unshielded nuclear reactor.

It's not some pedantic theoretical concern. There's an astronomical difference in the health risks between smoking a pack of cigarettes 4 times a week, using E-cigarettes 4 times a week, or applying a nicotine patch 4 times a week.
