IMO, spending 15TJ running a research reactor like JET at full whack for 6 hours (which is actually a lot of test fires) is of greater benefit than burning the better part of half a million litres of diesel moving a single billionaire and his lampreys around a bit.
Supposedly, Marshall McLuhan said that North Americans may well be the only people who go outside to be alone and inside to be together. There does seem to be some truth to that, though one should remember that McLuhan was Canadian, and the weather there can limit one's outdoor socializing for much of the year.

I see a fair bit of my neighbors, because I like walking around the neighborhood. Of course, I saw more of them during the pandemic, when I was working from home. It is true that I see less of them in colder weather.

Preventing spread inside a quarantine is a strictly lower priority than preventing spread to the outside, but to claim ignoring that concern is "how quarantines work" is not true at all. Why would you say that?
Tokamaks, while cool (or hot!), are ultimately limited by materials that we know about.

There are IAEA reports for fusion calling for materials that survive >100 displacements-per-atom (DPA) and > 1000deg C[1]. Additionally you might also need highly controllable super-conducting magnets as well as advanced sensing of the instabilities of the fusion plasma to ensure they are well confined (a chief requirement for fusion). There are other problems, but these are typical issues with tokamak-based fusion devices. Chiefly most tokamaks around the world do not operate in "continuous mode", ie they operate on "shot mode" or short duration experiments to attempt to ignite the plasma to fusion conditions. Achieving high-duty cycle operation with a ignited plasma is its own hurdle.

Making hot plasmas is interesting, but if your technology requires the above, you are looking at around 4-5 once-per-decade material science results.

Every national lab in the US is saying we are out of time, we need existing energy solutions to avoid the worst of climate change.

That was their initial problem.
Upon further reading, you will find that they found a solution in dealing with Lists with React Native. My initial comment had the answer - they brought in a component that visualizes lists from their web platform, and it worked seamlessly in React Native.

So no, while they initially implemented their core chat view natively, they are using full blown react native as of right now.
Oh come on. Extraordinary claims require… how does the saying go… at least a link to some online news source as documentation? So we know where you’re getting this stuff.
I think the key part is the first part of the sentence you clipped: “the load-bearing pillar of the Russian identity”. Self-image is not an academic historical treatise and most nationalities have parts they like to emphasize more than others — for example, as Americans we love to talk about democracy and freedom a lot more than slavery / Jim Crow, or whether all of our military endeavors hold up as well as WWII.

I don’t know how it’s taught in Russia but for what it’s worth, the major points of Russian history I learned prior to the 20th century was basically the Mongols and Napoleon invading and the brutal conditions of serfdom. Clearly there were other wars but even a Cold War enemy’s educational curriculum tended to emphasize the aspects mentioned prior to around 1950 so I’d have no trouble believing this is how Russians want to see their history.
Sun is a fusion reactor, and they choose, quite rationally, that getting tanned on a big boat under a big reactor is way better than getting tanned on on a cheap bench with that microscopic reactor.

> Is there any point in history where you can't say "there are likely very large and potentially unpredictable changes in store."? Why predict anything ever then?

Pardon the rudeness, but that’s silly. Of course there are times of varying turbulence where predictions can be more / less accurate. To be honest though economic predictions in the last 20 years haven’t done better than a coin flip.

I think we’re mostly in agreement except the part about everyone will suffer so demand for software engineers will decrease. In fact I think the economy is probably worse off (not just QE causing issues) than you laid out.

But the demand for software engineers decreasing? I mean, maybe, but I don’t think your points support that. I think there’s a mountain of assumptions you need to make to conclude that.

In a vacuum I would actually argue the opposite and say software engineering is even more important today than yesterday and that we aren’t producing enough. For example (anecdotal), the almost complete lack of technical fluency shown during the remote learning shit show that was my kids education last year. But we’re not in a vacuum and the economy is so untethered to reality that I can’t predict anything about the labour market.
The parent is free to ignore their identity (or so the comment implies). People who are LGBTQ+, black, female (in many situations), immigrants, etc. are not - those identities are imposed on them constantly by the people and society around them. They can't walk down the street, go to work, turn on a movie or the news, or even watch porn without people defining them by stereotypes. Their lives are often defined by it - their safety, their career options, their wealth, who will marry them, etc. The people who actually experience it keep telling you that - they can't ignore it, it's oppressive, brutal - why don't you believe them? Who are you to know better?

The obsession with identity is not in its subject, but in the majority observers.

> Obsession with identity is narcissistic by its very nature.

Ironically, actual narcisissm isn't focused on oneself as much as focus on everyone else - everyone else in the family, the organization, etc. has to be exactly what the narcissist wants them to be, to make the world exactly what the narcissist needs to feel safe.

That is similar to the identity situation we are discussing: The narcisissm is in the observer, who insists that the subjects should behave and act as the observer wishes.
This is all still extremely irrelevant to the question of if capitalism is in some way disconnected from, or apart from, racist systems. "Who started it" is just completely academic and not at all interesting.

Also, colonialism and imperialism are not the same thing. I get the feeling you read "imperialism" in place of "colonialism" in my post, but I did not even mention imperialism.

> This sounds like treating people as means to ends

I desire deeper relationships. I work to deepen relationships. Discovering and befriending people is a means to that end.

> These kinds of things can't be engineered with a 'filter'

My understanding of a marketing funnel is that it is not primarily concerned with filtering people out actively, but in drawing people towards a goal, who will otherwise self-select out of the process through lack of motivation.

Similarly:

I attend meetings of a club, and gain acquaintances.

I will only have acquaintances if I do not engage in the next step of the process: inviting, or accepting an invite from, someone to lunch. And so on.

> give rise

These things do not happen by accident. You do not enter into financial "circumstances" with another person strictly by accident. You do not talk to someone about your interests by accident. You do not get your emotional needs met by someone by accident.

Forming deep relationships is an active process that must be approached with a problem-solving mindset.

If it were not so, we would hardly be discussing the subject.

It does no good to remain passive, fatalistic, or organic-fetishist (anti-instrumentalist) when we're talking about one of the most important needs we have as humans.

Is a lithium battery that is discharged still dangerous?
There's already a notable new variant circulating. It's called Omicron BA.2, sometimes "Stealth Omicron" because it is not as easily identified as Omicron BA.1.

Looking at the UK figures, although there was a Jan/Feb peak, it's not clear that wave is mostly in the past. All the headline figures are currently rising - infections, hospitalisations and deaths - and the infection rate has risen again to nearly where it was at the start of Feb. It may continue past the peak figure in Jan.

The start of the new rises coincides with the end of basic restrictions - like wearing masks on public transport and in shops, social distancing, and working at home when possible. Up to that point the figures were dropping. So it looks like strong evidence that something about the restrictions was really working.

Politically, new restrictions may be unlikely, but the quite strong circumstantial evidence that they worked, the now rising figures, and the government's plan to stop almost all testing at the end of this month, seem in stark contrast to the government's prior "follow the science" line.
Specifically on development of battery tech development portion of your question, requiring any given characteristic in an appliance tends to halt innovation on the axis of that characteristic. For example, if an exact size of a part is specified, there's dramatically less incentive to innovate smaller versions of the same part.

One place this is seen is building regulations. It's not uncommon for an exact door or frame thickness to be legislated, and the required thickness is based on fire risks. This was a very good thing in the short term, but in the longer term, it removed any economic incentive for innovating new materials that require less thickness to provide the same level of protection.

Since it's been many decades since regulations were created in most places, there's often quite a bit of low hanging fruit, from a materials technology standpoint. There would be even more if the rules had targeted objectives (e.g. fire resistance), as opposed to methods (e.g., a set material thickness).

In the big scheme of things, technological progress has been strongly correlated with social good. We live longer, healthier lives and have more amenities than any time in history. It's much nicer to be living in the 2020s than I would be in the 1970s, 1920s or the 1820s. People living in each of those earlier eras saw the benefits they had from electricity, antibiotics, rail transportation, etc that those before them lacked and it's not hard to imagine people in the 2070s will be happy not to be saddled with our current level of technology.

It's easy to devalue what we don't yet have, but it's a fallacy.
Nice strawman there.

I’ve witnessed so many debates on my years about tabs, spaces, MVC, DCI, MVVM, TDD vs test first or unit, functional, integration testing etc etc (all stuff that does nothing to actually further the building or a product to deliver real business value) and even then I saw some utility but now I have no patience for prolonged debates about them cuz it just doesn’t matter.

I value simplicity, readability, and the ability to iterate on features quickly over everything else.
It's not news but it can still be a story. This is the kind of decision editors make, this is part of what people mean when they talk about editorial stance.

A publication whose only editorial goal is to give you novel information would not report "orphan crushing machine crushes 80 orphans, as it has every day since it was activated" since you probably already know about that. OTOH people are hitting adulthood every day never having heard of the orphan crushing machine, and you want to give them a chance to say "excuse me the what??"

"System working as intended" isn't new information, but making people consider the effects of that intention can be valuable. We might in fact want it to work a different way if we think about it for a bit.

> a DIY hobbyist/quadcopter battery such as you might see if you bought a 6s 4000mAH lipo for a 8" FPV quadcopter.

6S 4000mAhr is getting seriously into "do not fuck around with this" territory. they deserve to be treated like and equivalent weight of gasoline.

My quadcopters these days are mostly small to tiny. (It's been years since I flew anything above the 250g size that changes the rules here.) In the past, I've flown medium/big hexa and octocopters with 7S 5800mAhr batteries (two of them on the big Octo) Those batteries never came in my house. They are stored and charged in a besser block and concrete tile enclosure in my garage which has a direct metal vent pipe to the outside. They get transported in the car in an ammo can half full of sand, never more than two in the one can.

I've only once ever had one of those go off on me - in an ammo can while charging it at the field. Burying it with sand didn't put it out - it just happily burned away and got hot enough to distort the ammo can. I do not ever want that to happen anywhere near anything flammable that I care about.

I still have 4 of those big packs, I use them on an electric bicycle. I kinda hope that if I ever get mown down in traffic while riding it, it'll set fire to the car that nailed me...

I'm much less safety-nazi with my smaller lips batteries though. I store and charge 3 and 4S batteries in the 500 - 2200 mAhr range in my office - in metal tins with small-sh vent holes and watchable lids. I mistreat those batteries somewhat - my fastest quad can draw ~120A at full throttle on a fresh off charge pack (note that you do that for long, it's pretty much vanished straight up in about a second and a half when you do that. It's pretty much impossible to fly that one LOS, without the goggles I'd just lose it instantly.)

Literally building subspace relays. My nerd-y senses are tingling.
I guess I am lucky since I enjoy coding itself so immensely. Whether I’m coding on a side project or coding for work, I love it all. This has not really changed over the past 8 years.

The people I know who view programming purely as a means to get a high paycheck don’t tend to last very long or achieve much success especially in FANG, they burn out because it’s hard to excel in something you don’t have any passion for. Imagine trying to be an author but not caring about writing - good luck with that.
Because the issues described downstream are bordering on ridiculous and betray lack of knowledge of how to use the ecosystem rather than a problem with the stack itself.
But it increases points of failure. What if one or probes in the chain break for some reason?

I guess you build in redundancy, but it's not obvious to me that the added complexity - probes have to send and receive instead of just send - is worth the benefit. I really have no idea about this space though.
Umm as we get older isn't everything a means to an end? Don't get wrong I love coding but many people I know moved away from doing it professionally as they got more joy and challenges on side projects than at work (or ended up moving to management to learn "people design patterns")! Ofcourse now the job is just a means to an end (sustaining all the meaningful activities to partake with family and friends).
Ask HN: Could I make user-generated content easier?
I'm planning on making an open-source library to implement user-generated content on web3. Basically, if you want your users to be able to post something, you also need some way to log them in, and you need to make rules, and moderate it... And if it gets spammed, you need to deal with that. It's a lot if you just want users to be able to comment on your blog, or share something they made with your app, or submit plugins/themes, or leave reviews or something like that. And it's even harder on web3, because the ecosystem is so new and the tools are hard to work with - but a lot of users.

Thoughts? Would it be useful to you or your company? Are there different things that I should focus on? Would you pay for it?
Or leaving the doors open: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-25446228 . I've deliberately linked a page to the memorial. Plenty of links to the cause.
This seems to be missing my biggest gripe: adding new attributes to classes outside of `__init__()` or `__slots__`. Sadly I have to deal with code that does this with some frequency. Sometimes the attribute is added and accessed outside of instance methods entirely, ad-hoc by some caller. The result is total spaghetti. It becomes impossible to really know what the "interface" of the class is when you have to consider this, plus multiple inheritance, plus metaclasses, and then on top of that someone decided to hijack `__getattr__`. If I have to comb through the entire codebase to understand one class, that's a huge antipattern.

To avoid this, a lot of the new Python code I write is full of dataclasses. I do feel like I'm leaving a little bit of power on the table, but at least I can understand the code at a glance.

Precisely. Firefox is the only real opponent to Chrome (and Google is evil) and have just a few percent market share. So whats the matter, Mozilla needs money to develop Firefox and as long nobody wants to pay for, it has to be an ad from time to time. Also I don't think this ad is intrusive or anything. I would't like it if they sell my browsing history without my consent to make money, this would be newsworthy.

I’m not sure that’s the point. I think it’s more about minimizing costs. The rest is just part of the opportunity cost.
This is very cringe. To even imagine that the reason a country got invaded, knowing full well the repercussions that will follow, was because jealous old Putin got all shaky with impotent rage that his beautiful girlfriend called Ukraine with a blue dress and flaxen hair has left him.

The first reason Russia invaded Ukraine is because Ukraine joining NATO(in before "but Ukraine could never have joined NATO!!" - yes it would have and NATO was pursuing that, look it up) would be catastrophical for Russia's defense. At that point the only option for defense from any invasion would have been nuclear armageddon - if say in 20 years NATO comes back and decides to annex Crimea would it be an easy choice for whoever's responsible to press the big red button or would it be nicer to defend it through conventional means?

Secondly, Ukraine has found natural oil/gas reserves that would have competed with Russian exports.

Thirdly, Ukraine has turned off water supply going from Dniepr river to Crimea making it very difficult for Russia to supply water to that area.

I'm not saying that this justifies the invasion - war is a terrible thing and people on both sides are suffering, but would we also be surprised if USA invaded Mexico or Canada to stop it getting aligned with China? I wouldn't.
And that’s been my reality for the past 10 years.
