The point is that nuclear is not risky or difficult. It is simply awfully inefficient.

The risky nuclear move, which states should take, is investigating the possibility of supercritical CO2 turbines and similar technologies. That is to get away from the dead end of boiling water into a steam turbine which haven't have not been economical for 40 years.

First steam turbines was out competed by gas turbines and now gas turbines themselves are having a hard time competing with the solid state components of PV or an axle right into a generator for wind turbines.

Ask HN: Request for interviewee to discuss Apache Kafka
Hi HN,

Not expecting this to get to the front page! But hoping for one or two responses.

I am a junior software engineer and work at a company that uses Apache Kafka. I also have a side project which is a website for ongoing text-based interviews called Taaalk (https://taaalk.co). I am looking to interview someone about Kafka, starting with the basics and getting increasingly complex (eventually with some code examples).

[To get a better understanding of a format, here is an example of a Taaalk: https://www.taaalk.co/t/repopulating-the-taaalk-database-from-archive-org. It is a quite meta, as it is myself and another software engineer discussing how to repopulate the Taaalk database from an archive.org download after a server incident which wiped my database. However, it should give you an idea of the format.]

If you are interested in "Taaalking" with me about Kafka, please get in touch via the email on my profile.

Thank you!

UX designers always have to fiddle and make things worse
One thing that is nice about IKEA is since everything is pretty standardized you can create mashups that were never intended. For example, they sell a bathroom vanity on little 3 in legs - but the legs are the same as the bookcase legs elsewhere in the store - which are also available in 6 inch. So if you want a higher vanity you can easily do it.

But other stores have caught on to flatpack shipping - you can get solid wood dressers for example from Target shipped as a flatpack and easiesh to assemble (have a power screwdriver or drill torqued down low).

The problem is some of the things you have no idea of the durability until you’ve used it.

For example this is good: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hejne-4-section-shelving-unit-s... especially for the price (accommodates rack units!) but this is an absolute pain in the arse https://www.ikea.com/us/en/cat/ivar-system-11703/ to get working correctly (I threw it away and burned the rest after the third time shelves bounced and collapsed).

I ended up replacing most of it with wire shelving from Uline.

At a glance, the writing is very friendly, fun and sincere. Indeed, there is a lot of competition in computer languages, and you need some strong supporters (such as games or corporate sponsorship) to survive.

At the very least, the book looks like a good introduction to computer programming in general (not just Nim).

My introduction long ago was the 'commodore 64 programmer reference guide'. The mix of hardware, graphics, sid sound, BASIC and assembly language was great for the curious, learning by taking things/programs apart (and sometimes put them back together) while small enough to fully grasp.

Then moved from basic to assembly, pascal, c, python, c++ (and cuda). Wouldn't mind trying Nim or Rust next. Reading such nice book makes it inviting.
There are any number of “real furniture stores” near me that will deliver brand-new furniture (it was always “assembled” as far as they’re concerned).

It’s not at the IKEA price point (which is a large part of the business advantage that IKEA has).

Are there really no furniture stores that deliver to where you live?

>Satellites with high powered lasers are a fantasy that don't exist right now.

You need approximately a 5KW laser to do the job. Virtually all satellites have this much power available.

So this 'fantasy' is that you don't believe these sattelites are in orbit? It's quite obvious that this wouldn't be public knowledge. I admit I have no idea.

>The converted Boeing 747 airborne laser was a colossal failure and would have only been able to target a missile nearby in its boost/launch phase. It's now dismantled.

So to be clear, an ICBM flies at like mach 15-30. So it quickly leaves range of the 747. It was indeed scrapped, but was it? Did missile defence agency in around 2009 just decide they don't know what to do and havent done anything since?

They received 9 billion $ in 2021 and this sentence is literally all we know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Futures_Com...

If you want to help the people of Ukraine, we recommend people only donate through official, trusted organizations and do so directly on their website rather than any links shared on social media.

Always true. Scammers never go away. It's just humanitarian crises brings them into sharp relief.
Unfortunately it looks, and I so much, so much, hope I am wrong, that the reasons for these negotiations, is so that Russia can transmit an Ultimatum.

I have reliable information that Belarus troops are being prepared to join Russian troops at the request of military support of their Russian fellows.

IAEA to hold emergency meeting on Ukraine

Like, if they launch on Ukraine. The nuke will go off on its target. Do you feel like the rest of the world who is anxiously watching what is happening will sit back and do nothing?
Of course, I agree fully. But that's not how superpowers think.
Do they have domestic US CNN in your country? The international version is very different.
But obviously people aren't doing this on a massive scale. Despite appliances getting more efficient, energy consumption continues to rise faster than population increases.

I'm trying to mobilize a wartime effort of massive reductions to increase western soft power. If just 2-5% of the buildings currently being heated in the world could have their thermostats effectively off that would change the calculus that pretty much all of Europe is struggling with. It is the exact reason we were slow to cut off SWIFT, and we are still holding back on anything like a proactive oil or gas embargo from our side.

Those options are totally off the table if we cannot rally widespread support for righting Russian aggression, maybe even going further than lighting up buildings with colors and sending money to a out-manned nation that is under siege.
Well, tomorrow we'll witness the economical suicide.

I will just give you some context:

Most news outlets in Russia nowadays aren't even registered as proper media, so they couldn't care less for any "propaganda filters".

The article tries to assert that there is a huge difference between a perception of a "military operation" and a "war", but in Russian "military" and "war" is the same word (the same word root): "военная", "война" -- so everyone is just calling it "war".

As an example, take look at this article (vc is a massively popular news/blogs site): https://vc.ru/finance/371584-glavnoe-v-ekonomike-na-fone-voy... -- use google translate to see what words are used and what people have to say in the comment section.

Plus, consider that Telegram is massively popular in Russia, people just subscribe to whatever they want and read whatever they want, wheteher it's RT, Reuters, or stuff like this: https://t.me/worldprotest or https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAFcF8lv6w7Y4RfSW5Q or https://t.me/svtvnews or, on the other hand, stuff like this: https://t.me/Doninside

I would actually argue that Russians have much more sources of information available: Russian, Ukraininan, Western, independent. The evident post-truth politics from all sides breeds radical skepticism. The current situation is far from what can be called "a bubble", probably even further from what is happening in the rest of the world.
I’m always hesitant to start projects in less popular languages without knowing if they will stick around, etc. I don’t know much about Nim, but I have tons of respect for people who create excellent content like this that helps a language become more popular and mainstream by making it more accessible.

I'd like someone who knows more about software engineering than I do to tell me why I'd use this over some big globals-but-not-really App struct that holds all of the various dependencies of my app that I can just pass into the different parts of it so they can all access what they need.

If those struct members are typed to interfaces and not types, then it's just as testable, too, because you can drop in mocks as required.

What am I missing? This just seems like a way of obfuscating the fact that, in any modern program, we're going to need 3-20 "global variables" that aren't actually global global (but in practice are singletons in the process).
> your language needs an IDE, right?

If it does, it’s a bad language.

(IDEs can be beneficial for many languages. When those benefits become “needs”, that’s a sign that language is pushing complexity onto the editing tools, which has many bad consequences)
Read the article - yes other countries also contributed but it was mainly China that propelled the majority of the price drop through aggressive production.
Probably not if they let people surrender and treat them reasonably when they do that. It's not like in WWII, where people would be sent to the gas chambers in some concentration camp, if they surrended.
Utility scale PV doesn't require any cement/concrete at all. The mountings can be anchored to the ground with steel earth anchors. This is typically cheaper than using concrete, and faster to install.

The area requirement ignores that land is extremely cheap, as little as 1% of the cost of a utility-scale PV field in the US. Building an expensive nuclear plant to save cheap land is deeply foolish.
Second grade, my mother took me to a library which was closing and they were selling off a lot of books. We got this for two dollars. It had pictures and the name was simply "Mathematics", so it was what I wanted. Had the name been more complicated I might have moved on.

Anyhow, this is a general survey of math complete with pictures of what is going on, and how it can be seen in the real world. It really helped develop my math mental picture for how a lot of things worked well before I ever got to that level of math.

> Ukrainians, who must be "less white" than Russians

They are not less white. White as all encompassing the most important racial/ethnic category is an American invention. It does not make sense to import it outside of America and assume it will work.

Also, Putin line is that Ukraine is fake nation. It should not exist as independent entity, basically.
Which is a naive way to implement reuse mitigation because you have have a db that grows endlessly. Send a nonce and have the user sign it. Make sure the nonce is only valid for one use (burn it after it’s used). Then you only have to remember active nonces and you can expire them after a short interval.

> Oh, and whenever someone says "the customer needs X and Y" the important follow-up is "what makes you believe that?"

Yeah, that. If possible, the right thing to do is go to that customer and ask "hey, a quick question, what are you trying to achieve when you use that X or Y feature your asked for?"

In my experience, the odds of they answering your question are about as large as the odds of they saying "what are you taking about? I have no need for X or Y and never asked for them." While if you keep talking to the PM, that second answer will never come through.
What do you mean "brand awareness?" As in "I hate IKEA because it's IKEA and they're known for cheap furniture?" If that the case, then that's an accurate characterization. Most IKEA furniture is made primarily of particleboard or pine wood, which are both the cheapest materials within their class. I don't know a whole lot about their metal pieces, but I imagine the situation is similar.

Ukraine would not exist today and/or if it would exist would not have anything to fight back if it wasn't given to them by the rest of the world.
AKA there would be no war. Would that mean they "lost" yes obviously, that is the reality. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. This is not propaganda I dont pick sides. If you think a pointless war is better, well fine you are doing the propaganda for the warmongers out there then.

Neither Russia nor Ukraine is a free democrat country all people participating in this war are either brainwashed or forced to fight and die for people (dictators) who do not represent western values and have no respect for human lives.
Surely you can re-map it though.
Which part was knee jerk? I read everything on the (minimal) webpage. It doesn’t explain anything of substance, nor does it anticipate the (obvious) issues other commenters here noted. It’s like the author just proposed to remove everything they didn’t understand from Webauthn and was left with this.

Honestly, this discussion isn’t worth the time.

As for software webauthn keys:

- What do you mean “locked up in browser land?” You can use FIDO elsewhere (e.g. ssh https://ubuntu.com/blog/enhanced-ssh-and-fido-authentication...).

- Softkeys are available—in fact, iOS, Android, MacOS, and Windows 11 all do webauthn by default, without the need for a hardware token.

> Arent germans all too happy to welcome refugees against eu member state concerns yet when east europeans travel to germany for work they are looked down upon?

Exactly, here we go. The most evil thing you can throw against Germany is that ... they helped refugees. And when east europeans travel to Germany for work they are looked down upon? I thought they were mostly getting paid! I thought the EU opened borders for people looking for work, well knowing that this puts pressure on the low wage workers in the richer countries.

> Aren’t germans all too happy to point out how lame all of these other eu countries are when they make mistakes?

Germany does, in fact, criticize other EU members for violating the EU contracts that they signed. Like when the Polish and Hungarian governments are hard at work and turning their democracies into authoritarian states modeled after Putins Russia.

> How is alt-tabbing near useless?

I think the parent refers to MacOS/Gnome treating alt-tab as a "switch program" shortcut, not a "switch window" shortcut. I find it very convenient to press "alt-tab" to go to the previously-focused window, or "alt-tab-tab" to the even-previously focused window.

It's much easier for me to think in terms of context switches (go back to my N-previous activity) than have to consciously evaluate whether i want to switch window of the same app or switch app.
Except Microsoft is not spending any of their engineers making .NET run on PlayStation, Nintendo or XBox (.NET Native is a bastardised version and UWP is deprecated on the XBox anyway).

Likewise in what concerns iOS, Android and WebAssembly, those same engineers keep using Mono runtime, as apparently there aren't as many resources as you paint.

A good example of the resourcing problem is the ongoing tragedy of migrating the development from UWP into WinUI 3.0/AppSDK
