I presume you mean site reliability engineer. Then yes, my clients purchase the whole package. Development, deployment, hosting, production maintenance. So if something goes wrong, really anything, I'm their first point of contact.

Before, we had many situations where they asked me to take a look because something could have been a software issue but then turned out to be an AWS issue instead. That's always nasty if I need to tell my client "sorry you're offline, try calling Amazon". Even if they understand that there's nothing I can do, emotionally they still feel disappointed in me. When I use my own infrastructure, I can avoid these situations because it's in my power to make the necessary hosting repairs, too.
>Switching to more productive crops wouldn't end subsidies. In face, we'd - at first - need more

I don't think anyone arguing that subsidies in general are bad, just that subsidising corn is bad...

Genuinely, ask everyone you know for good recommendations. Even if they give you their uncle’s best friend in Cincinatti who does public defender work, that guy might know the woman who is the best litigator in the US who has a speciality in what you need. And then if she’s too expensive or won’t help you direct, she will happily refer you to someone who does.

And that kind of hustle is a prerequisite to solid business success anyway. So, get after it!
This is a different compiler/interpreter for the same language - nothing prevents it from being a drop-in replacement.
> countries that have a lot of (really expensive) nuclear to cover their base load, have zero incentive to invest into renewables

Nuclear energy is green energy:

The unnecessary not-taking-care of technology (so the anti-over-engineering) is also a factor in large corporations ;).
> Can you give me an example of a successful long-term nuclear storage facility that exists today?

There are natural deposits of radioactive material and there have been natural nuclear reactors on our planet.
I'm happy that this is getting some attention.

There will never he "just renewable" power grid due to renewables intermittency. The realistic options are renewables + some other energy source, or renewables + a lot of storage.

Renewables + storage has a problem: energy storage at scale is not a solved problem at all, either it is hard to build (pumped hydro) not scalable (batteries) or barely in PoC stages (various air storages and trains going uphill or whatever).

Renewables + other energy source has the problem of "what is the other energy source" and right now, that is fossil fuels - there's a lot of greenwashing going on with natural gas, for example, which is as bad as coal with regards to carbon due to all the methane escaping along the way.

Now the argument here is that without the storage being available, there has to be other energy source and in that case, the other energy source should be nuclear. Because the storage just doesn't exist so if the other energy source is not nuclear, it is going to be coal and gas.

But of course, people are just going to ignore the situation and parrot FUDs like "nuclear is too expensive" and "what about the waste", effectively pushing for coal and gas.

Yep. Static utility classes with pure functions are a good thing. Not everything needs to be an instance or an object. Not every if or switch needs to use polymorphism instead. Still lots of good tips here. Can anyone name a Google library they've actually enjoyed using? Every library I've greatly enjoyed has come out of Facebook, never Google.
> after Mozilla's management laid off tons of their engineering talent, there's been no plausible path for them to get there

Not saying Moz's management isn't crap, but IMO we shouldn't jump to conclusions into either direction here. From what juicy details we have, it might very well be the case that Moz's Rust advocacy (Servo project) turned out to be a cesspool of dictatorship, lack of accountability, and nepotism, and overall just not delivering much value to the endeavor of developing a web browser relative to an increasingly untenable situation and/or risk of PR catastrophe waiting to happen.
Why is it undefined behavior?
I use a VPN and have had no issues, but that's just one data point.
From the rethoric you hear from EU leaders and the US president, I don't expect NATO to take any direct military action, because blowing this conflict to a full-scale war between two of the main military powers would catastrophically disrupt the global economy.
Furthermore, I don't think one would find enough public support for going to war with Russia in most of those countries, which would make a sitting president willing to get directly involved, wildly unpopular.
Shoes aren't that big; the damage which could be done by a shoe bomb is pretty small, even one built by a highly trained demolitions expert.

Likewise the "no liquids" thing because of a risk of "binary explosives".

Have you got some recommended videos? I'm trying to increase my distance and its mainly stubbornness that's keeping me going
There is no fight between renewables and nuclear. They need each other. It's a fight against coal.
There are also safety and corruption.

Even in government owned nuclear plants (TEPCO) that don't have to optimize for profits we see these issues.
That’s not entirely true: They cannot extract information that the company doesn’t have, which would often come up if the company was careful to not capture it in the first place.

Whoa there chief. The whole 'that would be a good thing' is an overreach. There are 'better' ways to spend that subsidy but having a steady surplus of food subsidy or not is a way better position for a country to be in than implementing some JIT mechanism with supply/demand set purely by market prices. Just because agriculture makes up a small % of GDP compared to tech we can more easily get rid of Google than we can get rid of grain.
Let's say there are different opinions on that.

I won't adopt definitions forced by countries that also want natural gas plants to be categorized as "green" ("who cares what they emit?!")
I suspect I was banned from Instagram in the same way. No explanation was given.

I use ProtonVPN. It wasn't until Spotify stopped working sometime later (403 Forbidden for all HTTP requests) that I narrowed it down to using VPN.

Seems to be a growing thing. Thankfully, Spotify didn't do anything to my account, and it continued to work from regular IPs.
Sure, in that case it is just as bad. But I don't understand how it could ever be worse than gasoline since part of the CO2 in bio-ethanol should at least come from already unbound CO2.
One of them is a potential, the other is a certainty. By comparing just the effect and not the likelihood, you are getting biased results.
And that is _excellent_ news! We're still in the expansion phase when it comes to Solar, though, and there's no way we'll be able to get rid of fossil fuels using renewables only. Sure, we do have new and exciting tech in the pipeline, and maybe one day they'll suffice.

For now, we've got very few alternatives when it comes to base power generation. Biogas is probably one of the more interesting renewable power sources for base power (if we can ramp up production), but other than that, and leftovers from the wood industry, we're stuck at hydro and nuclear if we want to avoid fossil fuels. Last time I checked, there's no large-scale rollouts of modern power storage going on.
I don't know enough about the conference (one reason is the audio on YouTube is terrible for this event) to decide on that, but this seems like a shallow dismissal...even a vague attempt to misrepresent or cast doubt, perhaps prompted by fear of a legitimate criticism or exposure. It seems like a tactic, not a rebuttal.

Sorry if I got you wrong...I intend to look more into it to come up with a firmer view.
Let's see, quoting from the second page you linked, under "New builds":

Recent new construction of nuclear plants in the west has been fraught with boondoggle. The troubles with the Westinghouse AP1000 have been the most distressing to me personally, since the design was to be the conquering hero of the Nuclear Renaissance I was so excited about in nuclear engineering undergrad back in the mid-2000s. The July 2017 cancellation of the two AP1000s at VC Summer, the astronomical delays and overruns at Plant Vogtle, and the bankruptcy of Westinghouse were all devastating.

Non-problems?
You will have to believe me about the insurance. :)
Honest question, what is there to fix in Firefox ?

Web is getting increasingly integrated in real life so bridges and apps may take the spotlight (just a guess).
Similar with the artificial battle front between organic vs conventional/industrial, where each side claims the solution to sustainable food production, but no common ground is allowed.

By the way, not all children's books are equally naive. We've recently found a nice one [1] (in German) which shows small- and large-scale farms side-by-side, in a brutally honest way (including butchering).

I did a few 4 hour marathons in my early 20s, and in December I decided I was going to train for another one, after doing very little cardio for a long time. The run/walk approach has been great for me. I run for as long as I can, then walk 100m, run 400m… until I think I’m done. I’m getting through 10k in just over an hour now, and when I started I was struggling to mostly walk 5k.

Most notes I take I never read again. That's OK, that's what archives are for. Same with mail, bills, etc. It's still useful to collect them, and in case of notes write them.

Sometimes I chuck out a whole bunch of Todos just to free my mind and it never turned into regret. I think that is why all these new note taking tools and ideas are not that important; the most important bit in note taking is taking the damn note.

Agree we designed systems that could barely handle the flu, and we are paying the price. I'm not defending the politicians, certainly not Legault.

Where do we go from here? Fund back to average OECD levels, raise taxes, or honk and yell freedom while healthcare workers burnout?

And yes, a tiny number of nurses were suspended, but it's noticing compared to those who left the field from exhaustion from mandatory overtime and rigid scheduling.

Intel to Acquire Tower Semiconductor for $5.4B
I don’t really agree with “a large percentage”, but yeah it happens, and identifying these people is part of being a manager, right? Everyone on the team needs to pull together, and we need to ask non performers to leave.

I don’t think there’s any real evidence that “command and control” is actually safer - the world is full of failed software projects - but I agree that it’s perceived to be safer, and the rest follows on from there I guess.
Firefox, too, is beholden to the ad industry. That's the problem.

They could get popular fast by blocking ads by default, but of course, they'd have no income then.

Nevertheless, there's a bunch of other stuff they could do to help their popularity that they aren't currently doing, I'm sure. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Curious...going big picture about ballistic projectiles for a moment...what about a hollow-all-the-way-through projectile shaped like a jet engine air intake with "rifling" on the inner side to turn airflow, spiraling the incoming air from the wider "mouth" of the bullet toward a tiny "nozzle" at the rear of the bullet, through which this air is expelled. I'm not physicist-enough to know if this will do anything, but is this in anyway a plausible idea...or just terrible? Happy to learn.

What is the most promising original-Reddit clone?
I used to immediately launch on Hacker News, Reddit, Product Hunt, etc. the moment I finished my side projects. The problem I found with this approach is

1. Often times the product is a leaky bucket, and you experience a massive spike in traffic and very quickly see your growth asymptotically approach zero.

2. These platforms often times also are filled with people waiting to abuse your platform. For flurly, all of my original fraud problems originated from my product hunt launch.

Thus for GraphJSON, I went with a different approach. I shared my progress on my twitter account and mostly had my builder friends use the product. Over the past 6 months, the product has continually improved due to the constant feedback of this community. Word naturally spreads and so does the growth.
I recommend agave(NF), if you want a similar vein but a bit less cheerful. It's so easy on my eyes.
I hate to be that guy, but the only reliable way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to drastically reduce emissions. Switching to biofuel doesn't fix climate change because biofuel is still terrible. Switching to electric cars doesn't fix climate change because electric power is still terrible (not to mention all the damage from lithium mining, manufacturing and battery replacements).

The only solution is to make neighborhoods more walkable, reduce the need for frequent travel through mixed use zoning and invest in public transit (trains and trams, buses if you can't avoid road traffic completely) so more travel happens in high density vehicles rather than cars.

But that basically means public spending for public services rather than having companies sell more products to consumers and that's just too much like communism to be a legitimate answer because you don't want people to reconsider whether some aspects of socialism might actually be good.

EDIT: Since HN won't let me reply, I'll just pre-empt any further replies by pointing out that the problem with "solutions" like renewables, carbon capture and electric vehicles is that while they sound great in a spreadsheet they ignore externalities, overhead and scale: yes, if we could wave a magic wand and convert all existing cars into electric and backfill the increases energy demand by turning all the now unused infrastructure into wind mills and solar panels and somehow fix the energy storage problem, the situation would undeniably be better than it is now. But that's not how we get there and even that situation would be unsustainable as long as we follow a growth mindset and promote individual transportation as a consumer product rather than addressing infrastructure as a social issue.

I don't think HN is ready to acknowledge that the biggest carbon emission savings in the US don't come from carbon capture tech magic but from offloading the more emission heavy parts of the production chain behind the curtain into third world countries that don't end up on the spreadsheet. We're not going to solve climate change by stuffing all our toys into the broom closet with hopes that the regulators can't see the mess we made. We need to actually clean up the mess and stop adding to it. We can't fix a resource problem by continuing to expend an increasing amount of resources. It's called "reduce, reuse, recycle" because those are the things you can do in decreasing order of effectiveness. Carbon capture is just recycling. Going electric is not even that.

> This worked because, at the time, Firefox was genuinely, and more importantly, visibly better.

With Manifest V3 in Chrome stopping the use of uBlock and friends, Firefox could be a real alternative that provides users with a visibly better experience. Firefox will soon become one of only a few browsers capable of blocking the CPU unfriendly visual pollution that pervades every webpage nowadays.

Users are going to leave Chrome and I would prefer they don't flee to Brave. If Mozilla fails to position themselves to capture these users (uBlock and AdBlock each have more than 10 million users), they wont be getting another opportunity like this for a very long time.

I remember this! My name's in there too. I don't use Firefox anymore, but I remember it being the best alternative browser when this ad came out.
You are arguing with a straw man. They said nothing of getting rid of food surplus or grain. They said to reallocate corn subsidies elsewhere. Presumably one destination could be other foods with greater nutritional value.
I have no idea how representative my views are, but despite liking the browser, I find Mozilla's current marketing creepy, and it puts me off donating to the company. For one example, they send the same weird Valentine's day marketing email every year (that Cupid and the Grinch thing), which I wouldn't mind too much, except that the way it's written comes across like it's trying to trick the reader into thinking it's relating a recent conversation. I also find the tone of the email offputting; the first time I saw it, it made me feel like I was eavesdropping on someone's in-joke with their friend, while I didn't know anyone involved. This may be too much attention to give to one marketing email, but then they do send the same exchange every year!

Also, personally I would prefer them to focus on privacy and security and avoid anything more partisan; I haven't counted up but it feels like the majority of their campaign emails are about battling 'unsafe' content online, and I have no reason to trust them to be the judges of what qualifies as unsafe. So it puts me off donating any money for the things I do care about, because I can't trust they won't use it for something I completely oppose. I also would expect that a company that starts getting into the business of content moderation is going to find it conflicts with any privacy and security work they're doing, sooner or later.
The discussion should be about all the ways we need to act to meet our energy needs (including efficiency measures to reduce overall demand). Pitting nuclear against only renewables offers the “nothing different can be done; continue to burn coal, natural gas, and other fossil fuels” conclusion.
