And they make thousands of coming generations pay to store the waste we generated for our consumption.

High level nuclear waste is not something you can responsibly lock up in a vault and forget about for 200,000 years. What ever is done with it, where ever it is put, it will need some monitoring for 200,000 years.

What are those future generations going to think of us?

Will they characterise this as: "The Age of Greed"? Maybe the "Age of Stupid"?
That's if they are property owners.

In US and developed countries, it is about 5 - 8%, but in India, it is about 20%, so the transmission costs form a considerable portion of emissions.

jealousy. Even animal studies have shown that monkeys who sees another monkey receive more reward for the same "work" gets angry (i recall it was some experiment where one monkey got "paid" in grapes, while another was paid in something else less desirable - i forgot what - and initially both were happy, as they did not see each other's payment, but once the monkey saw the grape reward, they refused their reward and got angry).
Your search skills leave a lot to be desired...

Peskov does have a 24 year old daughter, Elizaveta. This is her Instagram where the story was posted "no to war."

Btw, she's also an assistant to the far right former-"National Front" French politician, Aymeric Chauprade. In case anyone's head has been in the sand about Putin's influence in aggrandizing the far right in the western world, causing disinformation and division.
They have to strike an interesting balance- enough people have to find romantic success on the app (and tell their friends) to get new users, but not be so successful that too many users stop using the app.
I just have to say you shouldn't let your past experiences with grinding skill in old games destroy your ability to enjoy new ones. Slay the Spire is one of the best games to come out in the last three decades in my opinion. It's just that good.
It’s a testament as to how easy to break in. It is not a testament as to how easy it is to turn a profit. These companies get bought by match because they’re not super profitable and able to compete until end of time against match.
Free and fair elections in Russia are maybe less likely than Putin getting assassinated
Yeah, and that's the reason Irland and the UK is full of moldy shitholes.

Everytime I watched the housing offerings in Dublin I wondered how any sane being would spend upwards 1M£ for a small, moldy goat pen while parking their Porsche infront.
Why did you just fact check hyperbole?
That's fine, however, if you're using heat at all in your home, having a "mining laptop" and a few incandescent lights around to take the chill off is not going to increase your electricity bill, unless you're using gas for heat. I forget the ranking of efficiency, heat pumps are more efficient than resistive heating (to a point well below -15 for more expensive units); however i forget where gas fits in that spectrum.

having a couple hundred watts of heat per person will lower your overall heating bill, all else being equal.
I wanted one of these so bad as a teen. SO BAD.

Context for dang and others: this user is a 4chan troll trying to get me to talk about what they did to me last year, so I'm just gonna ignore this one.

If you are curious about Russia and Ukraine, read the media. It's literally everywhere.

This is neither the place nor the time to discuss hate cultures like 4chan/8chan/kiwifarms/pol/ etc. People like to believe conspiracy theories in the name of freedom because they're more exciting than the boring reality. They just try to blend out the collateral damage they're causing while doing their "fun" activities. And justifying it because of some sense of moral code (that is actually anarchistic in nature, and not democratic) is borderline insane, so I'm not gonna comment more on this one.

Just go on your merry way, I stopped caring about trolls like you :) Have a nice day!

> Part of the usefulness of the guide might be to dissuade people from even trying, by showing them how hard language design is.

That is a bad thing. Going deep in any domain is hard; the thing to do is make the on-ramp gentler so more people can try it out, not make it steeper to discourage new learners.

If someone wants to start making games, we tell them to start off by cloning Pong or Breakout. We don’t say “be careful, here’s the long list of topics you’ll need to understand before you can make Fortnite.”
Just watching his videos makes you want to do awesome things, he brings plenty of energy and enthusiam.
To some extend this is true, but I think China tells is that there is a balance somewhere, even if we haven’t quite found it yet.
One reason for high price of fossil fuel based power is that they are extremely in-efficient. Coal plants are about 30% efficient, Combined cycle plants about 40 - 45%.

Compared to Solar and Wind, which have no input costs other than initial investment and very low maintenance and upkeep costs.

And, the investment costs of setting up a 1 MW coal/gas plant vs. 1 MW solar plant, is about the same.
Correct. Sugar dating is definitely not the same thing as matchmaking or even trying to get a partner on apps.

Sugar dating is very much a transactional one. It’s a more affordable version of sex work.
What do you mean? Women have to pay for premium Tinder features.
Tinder’s parent Match is part of the coalition against Apple’s control over In-app Purchase payment system, very likely because they want to circumvent Apple’s customer-friendly refund process when an app rips them off.

OTOH the iPhone accessed the real HTTP Web not WAP and it didn't use a split browser architecture. For comparison, the Danger Hiptop/T-Mobile Sidekick was only allowed to have an unlimited data plan because all traffic from the phone went through proxy servers that compressed everything. AFAIK Blackberries also routed everything through a BES/BIS proxy.
> we aren’t allowed to have today that could end up being true?

i'd say rather than not allowed, it's more an uncomfortable truth that people are too socially stigmatized to agree or say.

I think as society sheds such stigma, over time, society becomes more progressive and "free".
The article says that for each doubling of capacity, solar has dropped 20% in cost. Nuclear currently represents 10% of world capacity. So if we scale nuclear to 80% (3 doublings), the cost would drop to ~50% of what it is now -- which would only drop it to about twice the cost of solar at present.

So apart from the fact that nuclear probably wouldn't react the same way as solar, even doing so wouldn't make it cost competitive. But I still like nuclear.
Radioactive waste is regularly stored at the reactor that burned it. Those supply electricity for population centers, and thus are placed in proximity. I think you'd be surprised at how it works in practice. If your interested in learning more, there's some great info from the Fukushima plant meltdown, very transparent and public incident that gives insight into how things work in this space.
I'd almost agree, but at the same time such work can be a lot of fun.

Personally I think an average programmer could knock out a BASIC, FORTH, or similar programming language - with extensions - in a few months of part-time work, if not less.

The harder part, the part that I can see taking a lot of time, is trying to create a "batteries included" language which has a very complete and complex standard library.

Sure there are cheats if you're able to use dlopen, and FFI, to access C-stuff, but it's still not easy to create client-libraries for MySQL, Postgres, Redis, HTTP, etc, etc. Those kind of extensions/support make your language very very useful for users though. So there's a trade-off.

I've put together a couple of simple languages, with a standard-library of maybe 30 functions. I'd draw the line at anything more no matter how appealing it might seem because I can just imagine how much of a time-sink it might become.
Depending on your circles - it still is. Common enough on many dating subreddits, blind, and plenty of other places that would consider this data backed analysis to be “incel theory”.

It mostly has to do with the gender ratio. If there are women on there (common enough on many forums) or any guys who’ve never experienced any amount of sustained sexual frustration (uncommon but happens) - the incel talks start coming out. Mostly due to willful ignorance on their part.

That's why this crisis is a major risk for Europe right now. One shell in a wrong place and Chernobyl 2.0 is happening. The nuclear tech has improved there but not that much. There are still reactors with no concrete structure encapsulation.
363 miles from Latvia to Moscow, 280 miles from Ukraine to Moscow. I'm not sure if I would call Latvia "right next to Ukraine", since it doesn't border Ukraine.
The walking times are from my apartment building at 45 Park Ln S. I timed my walk from my apartment door to the train door a few times and added a bit of buffer. I might be able to make these walk times configurable using URL parameters; I will update this thread if I do that. Or you could self-host this: it’s just a static site with a few HTML, JavaScript, and image files.
I am deliberately evasive about the book title because I do not wish to engage in obnoxious self-promotion. But if you are sufficiently curious, my username is a huge clue that should lead you to the title if you do some minimal Googling.

Disclaimer: The book was a bit of a fiasco, our website was an established property with an established audience, and the publisher insisted on taking the book design in a direction contrary to our values. I can recommend the content of the book, but its design makes me cringe to this very day.

Thank you for that clarification!

In my case, I'm only looking at monitors that have macOS Retina scale resolution, so the vertical would have to be at least 2k, if not more. I'm not finding much in that space beyond your standard 4k 16x9 monitors, which I've already got. If I'm going to upgrade, I would be interested in looking at a wider monitor with higher horizontal resolution, but I'm not giving up on Retina.

Much appreciated! Thanks again!
It's not just an annoyance, it makes your site literally unusable on a mobile device. What if I urgently need to access some details of my account and don't have laptop access. If I check "load desktop site" then load the site and let me deal with the broken UI.

This is a ridiculous "feature" and the fact that you are defending something like this is a major turn off on ever using this product. What other hill would you be "willing to die on" for some seemingly miniscule yet exceptionally annoying feature.
I remember a PG tweet along the lines of "if faced with a choice between two things, pick the harder one".
The US is way more self-sufficient than Russia is: we have abundant natural resources, plenty of food, technology that puts that of Russia to shame, a far more modern and competent military, several times the GDP per capita, etc. But nobody says the US would be just fine if it walled itself off from the rest of the world.
This will likely become more normal over time. No one really cares because it’s mostly men who are losing their money. And rich men aren’t often on these apps - so it’s only the working class that is losing. So, working class men are getting screwed over by a corporation? No, you don’t say.
To be fair, it's hard to expect to make much of a profit when there are 22 companies out there already selling the same exact product. Online dating is pretty much dead as a direction for new startups to pursue, one big red ocean at this point, and there's no clever play left in it that would set a new players in the space apart.

I don't see how consolidation into a couple of major players swallowing most of the companies in the space is avoidable. It's Booking Holdings vs Expedia Group all over again.
The fact that it's a bare-bones technical demonstration and an idiot would have no wherewithal or purpose to implement it.
> Still, for the 787, HCL gave Boeing a remarkable price – free, according to Sam Swaro, an associate vice president who pitched HCL’s services at a San Diego conference sponsored by Avionics International magazine in June. He said the company took no up-front payments on the 787 and only started collecting payments based on sales years later, an “innovative business model” he offered to extend to others in the industry.

Lol at the industry thinking that deferred bundles and services discounts are revolutionary

For a long time, I was a heavy Thunderbird user. But that was a long time ago.

If Thunderbird is coming back and will have consistent ongoing development work being done on it, then I might be convinced to take another look and see if it solves some of my complaints about the more recent versions of mail.app.

> especially considering that the Caddy web server does something similar and will go down if 1 out of 10 sites fails to provision the SSL/TLS certificate

What? That's not true. From the Caddy docs [1]:

> Caddy does its best to continue if errors occur with certificate management. By default, certificate management is performed in the background. This means it will not block startup or slow down your sites. However, it also means that the server will be running even before all certificates are available. Running in the background allows Caddy to retry with exponential backoff over a long period of time.

Caddy will actually keep your site online when other servers don't. See the bottom of this page: https://caddyserver.com/v2

If it was so optimized, why did it let apps run down the battery in 30 minutes?
The differences is that a cohesive, consistent UI like the Visual Studio IDE allows complete customisation of the color scheme, uses subtle queues, and has colours that make sense in the context.

Typical open source command line tools are written by random people from all over the place, and there is no consistency at all, except perhaps seeing orange for warning and red for error. All other bets are off.

It's not like PowerShell, where there's separate output streams for Debug, Verbose, Information, Console, Warning, Error, and Progress! Where those can be styled consistently by the terminal, instead of the l33t coder that sprinkled some random Christmas lights into the output of his "xvtj7" tool or whatever.

The reason "NO_COLOR" makes sense and is needed is because color in Linux-style tools is done at the wrong layer, in the wrong way.

Format and style the output as the last step, not first.

Ukraine wasn’t a NATO priority until now. Given what Putin has done, and his oligarchs have permitted, it is clear Ukraine must be a NATO member to keep Europe stable. Russia can be attended to by China. They will grant them financial access. In exchange, they will make Russia their vassal and keep them in check. What an idiot of a society they have been…
Um. When the intersection is clear, then there's no point then, right? Because there's nobody else to care. That's the idea.

And China has a solar manifacturing base because Germany subsidized PV heavily. Local manufacturers didn't care that much about prizes, due to subsidies, Chinese manufacturers saw a market. Supported by the Chibese government, they did build the manufacturing base. And squezzed German manufacturers out of it. The market, for quite a while, still was Germany and Spain. The latter changed.

So the initial boost came from Germany (and a green-social-democrat goverment), that enabled the mainly Chinese manufacturers to continue the constant cost reductions ever since.

If defending vigilante hackers targeting Russia makes me a "4chan troll" then I had better start looking for a bridge to live under. I asked you a question, and twice now you have refused to engage with me on good faith and devolved to personal attacks.

You're welcome to ignore the personal politics of this conversation (or the conversation altogether), but if you're not going to stay on-topic then you probably shouldn't waste your time replying in the first place.
One of the problems today is that multiple sources will readily report bogus news. If something is treading on Twitter or Facebook or tiktok, the news outlets have two options, jump in and share in the wave showing their readers what the readers would like to see, or risk losing out by doing rigorous fact checking. Feels like the majority chose the strategy that benefits their bottom line and their add spaces, rather than the one that benefits society.
A few too many known unknowns (and probably a lot of unknown unknowns) to estimate with any confidence, but certainly higher than it seemed a couple of weeks ago (which was effectively 0%).

My pessimistic take is that it is currently about 2%, or 1-in-50, which is far too high for comfort.

I think I understand now – while I saw the adjustable walk time variables in the JS, I just wasn't sure which station your timer were relative to.

Looking at your building location, I see you're near the Hoboken stop. That's why you have the Hoboken departure times hard-coded in the departure_times.js.

I thought the file was just the line schedule and then you'd have to pick a station, but I see now it's just the schedule for the Hoboken station?
