The main risk is taking off, you'd want something well protected and capable of surviving starship blowing up at any point during ascent, including returning safely to earth and impacting. You'd probably want to (unusually) launch over land - perhaps Alaska/Canada, to make retrieval easier should it fail before reaching orbit.

Once it's in a low orbit, the extra shielding isn't needed as much as it's not going to fall back to earth quickly, so boosting from there to a high orbit would reduce the mass needed to be transported.

In theory you could maybe do it for say $4b/yr all in.

How many orbital solar collectors could you use to concentrate energy and beam the equivalent energy currently produced by nuclear plants to a desert based collector?
There's 20 million games on roblox, and I read that 9 year olds are losing money trying to promote their games just to get players.
Hm - maybe technically, but they are the same on any instrument you can play them on.
Again - read Richard Rhode's book.

And yes - That's exactly the frame of reference that war planners used. The axis powers went further, not only was all of the Jewish, Slav, British, China, and American lives not worth any of their own, their own peoples lives were not worth it.

Not a pleasant thought to think of - but go look at the ideologies that the Axis powers actually embraced, instead of cartoon nazis and modern day revisionisms.
Wrong analogy. You’re describing theft. It’s More like, my neighbor planted an apple tree in their yard and told me, “this is your tree. You can pick any fruits off of it, anytime you’d like.” I told the jam making shop down the street that they can come get apples on this tree anytime if they give me some of the apple jam they end up making. My neighbor didn’t explicit permit me to do this, but also didn’t forbid me. I think? So now the jam making shop owner goes and grab my apple on my neighbor’s tree.

Maybe the solution is just to have the jam maker give the neighbor a can?
But what if your services are written in different languages from each other and they need to perform similar authz checks? Sure, each service might need be responsible for its own data fetching, but the actual logic over the data can be written in one common language (Rego) and have one single source of truth.
is there a YCombinator for game development? Seems like a decent idea, give enough money for teams to have some runway to work on it full time in return for equity. The investor could also have a few full time people to help out with skills that the average game dev doesn't have. Eventually the network becomes the most valuable part and a flywheel effect is created

closest thing I can find seems to be Unreal offering grants

The analogy with chemistry doesn't work. There is only one "chemistry theory": the one that describes reality. The table of elements changes because our experimental understanding of reality improves.

There is no one true "music theory". Music theory as it is typically taught is no more than an elaborate system of nomenclature of the stylistic preferences of European music in the last three centuries. It is a cultural description of a cultural phenomenon.

To get into more specifics, when explaining music theory at an elementary level, you might say that a frequency ratio of 1:2 is called an octave and all the notes with an octave relationship to each other are considered equivalent. That is true, if you are making European-style music. Most other cultures around the world have a name for the interval called the octave, but most of them don't consider all octaves to be the same note. "octave equivalency" is fundamental to Western music, but it's not a universal law, it's a stylistic choice. To imply otherwise by claiming that your explanation of this European convention is essential to music writ large is to do a disservice to the many musical cultures around the world that don't follow that convention.
I suppose a good rule of thumb is that "dissonant" notes (in the musical syntax sense) should be in a harmonic relation with the scale step they will ultimately resolve into - so D to C, A to G, F to C etc. This can and will create roughness in the vertical dimension, but that actually reflects their unstable "energy" that drives them to resolution. Of course one could just as well use microtonal shifts to play with this kind of stability whenever longer-range relations are involved. Perhaps this is part of what good performers do intuitively when playing a melodic instrument. The relevance of music-syntactical dissonance and resolution is what might make Schenkerian analysis a very useful tool to understand these possibilities!
I would say it's statism or cronyism rather than capitalism. It doesn't have anything to do with ownership of the means of production.

RE: transposing instruments

It's not just a "convenient for the players" moment. It's also because changing over to non-transposing instruments would create a generation-long transition period of broken pedagogy. It's the same reason oboe fingerings are so nonsensical. It's backwards compatibility to preserve previous fingerings that makes the new fingerings awkward and arbitrary.

Godot has me so excited. Finally a good open source python(like) engine with all the bells and whistles.

I have only done the tutorials for godot. Not even trying to start my own project. The real caveat for me on video game programming. The programming isn't the problem. It has everything to do with 3d modeling, texturing, etc.

I kind of dream about starting my own video game project up using godot, stream on twitch/youtube making it so I could get some revenue going. Kind of what star citizen wanted to be, starfield will likely be, with my own take. Kind of a skyrim meets han solo meets the martian meets chess meets piano meets metasploit.

But I really hold back because family to feed, diapers to buy, mortgage to pay. Boring game dev streaming like that won't be paying those bills.
Did you read the report or did you just read the headline? Your source is a report created by the nuclear energy lobby. This is quite literally the most biased source available. And even then, literally from their own data it shows that in 2015, of the total federal incentives dispersed, renewables got 16% vs 8% for nuclear. That hardly feels like "30 times the amount".

And this doesn't even account for the fact that "Renewables" is a bucket that consists of multiple technology types including solar, wind, biomass and storage. So if those were actually broken out into individual categories nuclear would be the biggest receiver of incentives of the bunch.
Do these forks also undo the changes that google makes to chromium to push their agenda?
Every other browser caught up on features, and some bad things FireFox didn't have originally, it now has (ads, spyware). I don't really know why I'd recommend it to anyone these days. Early on, I was installing it everywhere anyone would let me, because it was so great compared to the alternatives.

I think it gets emotional because a lot of us used to really like Firefox, and we've watched it wither and rot due to bad decisions and what sure looks like a bunch of parasites feeding on its cooling corpse (and, to be fair, some really tough competition from Google and their massive advertising push for Chrome).

Meanwhile, the organization did manage to spin off a couple really great or promising side-projects (Rust, Servo, MDN) but then pulled the rug out from under them.
Yep there's certainly been a surge. I've been contacted by a handful of Amazon recruiters in the last few weeks.

Yes! I feel exactly the same.

I don't think I'll be looking to work in a react codebase in the future again. I don't know what was wrong with class based components, especially the lifecycle methods, they were so easy to understand/read. But almost every react codebase is now a combination of classes/hooks or 100% hooks which imo is so messy/unreadable...

When I will be looking for a job change I'll definitively look for angular only jobs (or even better, backend only)

I'd say its almost certainly true that foreign actors are playing a large role in encouraging its appearance in domestic politics.

But the biggest driver is the mainstream media who no longer have a business model (destroyed by the internet). So now they just generate fake controversy as cheaply as possible, to attract eyeballs for advertisers.
And there is nothing cheaper than opinion. Hot-button issues like racism etc are perfect for this.

It's reasonable to assume that even gut bacteria affects your personality, or chronic pain, or anything really that makes you feel.
But that complexity is even larger without this encapsulation into components. Reducing the complexity by reducing the potential communications surface is a large part of the point.
> I'm trying to learn unity and game development as well. My day job is salesforce integrations, and wow I'm finding game development mindbogglingly hard.

What are you finding difficult? It's hard to make recommendations without a good idea of where you're stuck.

My general advice, however, would be to just make things. Figure out a mechanic you want to implement, find any resource that describes how to implement it, implement that mechanic, and then move to the next thing.

It's much more valuable to just build things and figure out how the systems interact as you go than it is to try and get a bunch of theory out of the gate, especially if you're not building your own engine.

Under that assumption, modern software would have a better UX and be more reliable than the software written "back then". And from my experience it's the exact opposite - modern software, like Slack, is not only slower and less functional than old counterparts, like IRC; it's also much less reliable.

I think the residents of texas that had no power for days, or $15k residential bills would disagree with you. In fact, my co-worker in MN had their natural gas rates go up a very noticable jump this year due to losses the company had in texas (and having to buy gas at super inflated peak rates when many texas pumping stations had to power down, since they weren't winterized to save some money.)
A space elevator could fling it out to escape velocity if you can build the containment vessel to survive a fall at terminal velocity (way lower than orbital velocity). Energy wouldn't be a problem for a civilization with the capability of building such an elevator, as there's plenty of solar, and raising 1 ton to GEO uses a trivial amount of energy.

hi, this is a project I've been working on and off for the last three months,
it's my first non-trivial, non-hello-world, actually useful (at least to me) go
project. it would be very nice if you could just try the program and see if it
works on your setup!

the readme[0] explains how it works, why I wrote it and how it fits in my
"command-line centric" computing environment (there is also a video demo[1] :)).

if you know go, feel free to take a look at the code and review it! I'm still
pretty much new to go and I'd love to hear opinions, feedback and tips from more
seasoned go developers :)

I live in the UK and my balance throughout has been "completely ignore all of the scaremongering".

1% risk of death. Wait, now sub 0.1%, thx vaccine. Meanwhile schools are still in dystopia mode, Universities are nothing like they were when I went, almost every job in my field is gone, shitloads of businesses have permaclosed, etc.

We can't even reverse it now, loads of it is baked in. Remove all legal restrictions and half of the people are still wearing face masks and avoiding socialising 'cus Covid'.

March-May 2020 kind of sort of made sense (I still think we could have just asked people rather than using legal force but whatever). Beyond that, sunk cost after sunk cost and just an increasingly bizarre game of one-upmanship "look, I can make my life worse than yours!".

_This_ is radicalization - believing an ever deepening web of bollocks and as a result drastically changing one's way of interacting with the world. They don't even remember how they used to live and why.

I stand by my statement - it is conservative to accept a slightly increased risk in order to maintain our traditions. It is radical to flip the world on a dime. (The UK Conservative Party is emphatically not conservative by any reasonable definition).
Interesting - 6 of the 7 languages discussed are Python libraries. Must be going for the more DSL type of language. Of the ones mentioned, looks like only Q# and QASM aren't Python-based.
Yes. I'm seeing emails from multiple recruiters and often the same recruiter reaches out 3-5 times. I just ghost them because a) I have asked them to drop me off their list before and b) I have no idea how they got the email address that they're using.

I used to have a rule that if the words "Amazon" and "recruiter" were in the email body then it went straight to trash. I may have to add that back.

Won't this ruin your life if someone who looks like you commits a violent enough offense, and the police accidentally arrest you for it?
Japan was run by the Emperor and a six person cabinet; the military held half the cabinet seats. The Emperor didn't rule the cabinet, and thus the country; the group governed by internal consensus.

Even after the atomic bombs were dropped, the military half of the cabinet would not accept unconditional surrender; the Emperor and civilian half would have accepted surrender much earlier, but feared the military would simply seize control, as had happened many times before in Japanese history. And even after the Emperor forced the decision in cabinet to accept surrender, there was an attempted coup by parts of the military.

Japanese obstinacy was driven mainly by a kind of hybrid fascist/bushido doctrine that dominated the Japanese military starting in the 20s.

That's how capitalist societies centered on maximizing profit have always worked. When someone tells someone else to "pick themselves up by their bootstraps", really what they're saying is "sell someone to someone else with money willing to pay for your service". Homeless people and poor people are basically invisible to the economy, and serving them literally contributes nothing to the economy (directly at least) since GDP by definition only includes monetary transactions.

Even as a white collar worker, you'll quickly realize that the executives calling the shots are generally already rich themselves, and their bosses the investors are even richer. Money dictates everything we do down to the mission of our companies and the role of our jobs. Sure you can opt out, but then you're essentially taking a vow of poverty, and unless you're rich already that's a pretty big risk. It's no surprise that workers realizing that they are effectively servants of the rich have backlashed and opted out.

This phenomenon of serving rich people exists not just within our labor market, but also in politics. In theory a democracy should reflect the will of the people, but in practice the rich own the media/advertising, and the poor are too busy working to make ends meet to be politically active.
What a great cause/mitigation list!

Have you given a talk or written more in depth on this? If so I for one would be interested in it.
No. just to be clear:

They literally disassembled their factories in many cases, and put equipment into people's houses. The broke the factories into workshops, which where highly inefficient. The Japanese believed this would make them resistant to bombing, but also scale well since they didn't have to centralize at single sites. (the exact opposite of Fordism). They were incorrect on both counts.

And no, there are no documented records of people in Tokyo, Nagasaki and Hiroshima doing it - killing people tends to make them unable to engage in further violence (though it may encourage societies to further violence). but there are records in Okinawa, and in virtually every other sizable Japanese population engaging in violence.

That even includes in Hawaii. See the Nihau incident.
Well well.. seems like I really nailed this one [0] 2 days ago we had a thread about FF losing market share and what some would do to help that.I was right in pointing out Mozilla's priorities: color themes & data-collecting extensions, definitely not for fueling ad-based companies with data which trickle down in profit for both parties.

I guess nobody even at Mozilla gives a damn anymore, just make the browser an equivalent of a mobile app for browsing tiktok and consuming media already, because between that and pushing color themes, there's nothing on the horizon for people who just want an usable browser.At this point i expect even Edge to catch-up heavily, at least we're expecting consistent garbage from Microsoft so in that regard there won't be any surprises.

I mentioned xfce for that exact reason. It is still pretty light, while being a more familiar to the average user.

I had an old IBM XT clone sitting in my bedroom at the age of 12-13. I brought a friend over once and he called me a nerd. Not the "nerd" of today. Back then it stung. He said it with a bit of disgust, as if he learned some dark secret I had been harboring. I even loaded up Catacomb 3-D (a very early id Software precursor to Wolfenstein 3D) to prove I can be cool too. It didn't really work.

I disagree slightly on the transferable skills. I've been in the video game creation hobby for 1+ years now. Embarrassingly, programming for video games is helping me break down problems and invent mental models & solutions to solve those problems. This has helped immensely I'm my ability to think more abstractly, and how to push libraries away from the 'core' domain of my solution space.

It makes me a better programmer.
