The last season was a let-down to me, weirdly felt like everyone involved just stopped caring.
Ah, there it is. You somehow feel personally offended that someone might not like the important choices made for them.

Sorry this conversation frustrates you. Guess you're still dealing with toddlers which is not something I had considered until now. I thought we were talking about much, much older children. Teens even.
>statistically the safest

The worst case of nuclear, it is worse than the worst case of solar/wind. So even if it were rational for humanity, it might not be rational for a country.

I'm having trouble picturing how it is safer than solar though.

I have to say this explanation is plainly wrong and ironically for a piece about discovering ones Chinese identity reads as an extremely American view the Chinese economy.

The Chinese economy is not growing at a 'blistering pace' because of the long hours worked by these people. If this were true, we would see it in productivity figures but China is actually very low on those measures. It also seems to imply that the rest of the world is just lazier than China hence the lower growth. Are the people of South Korea for example that much lazier than their Chinese counterparts?

China grows at a rate of 6% because GDP growth isn't a measure of output in China in the same way as in the UK for example, it's a policy decision. This doesn't mean they invent the figures which many people seem to believe, the activity is actually taking place and that's obvious if you've ever been to China.

The economy is structured in a way to achieve growth targets. Local and provincial officials are rewarded for achieving growth targets with career advancement, so they come up with creative ways to fund dubious infrastructure investments or just use proceeds from land sales. SOEs engage in investment and production that would not be economic if not for discounted interest rates given by state owned banks, funded in part by negative real rates for deposit holders (the people working 16 hour days). These banks have loan books elevated levels of non-performing loans, but because of the closed financial system they don't have to realise these losses and can be quietly recapitalised if necessary. High level party officials have been talking about rebalancing from export and investment to consumption led growth since Wen Jiabao in 2007. Since then consumption share of GDP actually fell even lower.

China is not some ticking time bomb ready to explode on debt, they have similar levels of total debt to GDP as the US and EU do. But equally it's not some hyper efficient utopia full of the hardest working people on earth.

This line of thinking is really bothersome because believing that 'China is outworking us' will invariably result in political rhetoric in western countries aimed at making workers work longer hours or peeling back various labour protections. Not to say no reform in these areas is necessary of course.
From the top of my head there was a counter example in the 2006 war between Lebanon and Israel.

Whoever wrote that code either doesn't know the framework or perhaps is doing a custom implementation for some performance optimization. All you need to do to return a plain text response from an action method is `return Content("text goes here")`
No but at that time those stockpiles were also in the process of being decommissioned. I have to echo that positive sentiment.

And in some areas like Eastern Europe that's exactly what did happen of course.

On Facebook you see the content because of the relationship you have with that person. On Twitter you form a relationship because of the content.

I didn't see any "/s" in your post so I'm somewhat confused.

Discussion of religion gets dangerous because it seems to morph into attacks. I've no interest in that but I do in laws in that name because then it's literally my (and everybody else's) business.

The key issue is melding of Church and State -- not a good idea according to the founders of the United States. Giving the Church the power of the State is a recipe for tyranny.

While it doesn't get enough attention, there's an active effort for the United States to do this very thing. We need to have civil dialog for the repudiation of that but avoid framing it in an attack on religion itself.

If you read this and disagree, go ahead and down-vote this but please explain why so perhaps we can someday find agreement.
Oh please. It's not as binary as "either Russia withdraws demands or else it's global nuclear war".
I guess the theory has already fallen through, hasn't it? Presumably both Russia and Ukraine had McDonalds.
Rage room?
That's a strikingly similar situation to ours. Our 4th grader has autism and needed special education services, but of course those didn't exist. At the same time, our typically developing kid was starting kindergarten virtually. At one point the teacher booted him from the class meeting because he was drawing a picture instead of writing words. She told us to ensure that he only joins class ready to learn.

All I can say is I'm glad we are all back in-person. The full-time dual-career parents as teacher's aides life was a fever dream of nearly snapping daily.
The article presents an interesting definition for spaghettI. However by using the current known best in each BB class doesn’t really offer a robust analysis in each class. I think it would be pretty interesting to see how much spaghetti it’s possible to make with a 6 states and then examine some of those BB machines vs reducible ones.

Given the very large number of BB(6) programs that exist it’s quite possible that spaghetti ones haven’t really been looked at that much.

Per the author there is only so much spaghetti that’s even possible with less instructions/states.
Can this method be used as an emergency device to neutralize the reactor uranium rods? Or to sanitize Chernobyl?
A Uniquely Perilous Moment
As someone who’s lived in China for some time as a mid-level nobody working in tech, it’s honestly no big deal. Just don’t do anything stupid, like committing a crime or posting about sensitive stuff on wechat, and there’s very little to worry about.

I definitely wouldn’t have the courage to be a journalist here, though. And even for us nobodies, China is becoming less welcoming to foreigners with every year that passes.
Oh yeah, some Russians have my utmost respect for putting up and being vocal about that brutal regime they’re under. I think it toughens you up after some point but from my outsider perspective I would be simply terrified to speak up.
Saying “because I said so.”

Or “stop it,” out of frustration.

Family members have babysat my kids, and this is a mistake I see all the time. If you tell kids not to do something, always tell them why. And be honest about it. It’s kids’ job to learn about the world, and it’s your job as a parent to teach them about it.
I'd like to see in a forum for dentists a thread where they offer clever suggestions for how to change software development. Clearly, all these dentists have used plenty of software before.

They would have seemingly great ideas like "programmers should get 10% of their pay docked each time I encounter a bug in a program" or "the real solution is to hire someone to test the program from start to finish before releasing it".

I bet programmers on Hacker News would be livid upon hearing these suggestions, but seem to have no problem announcing their clever solutions about other disciplines (not excluding myself).

Unfortunately LG has terrible sound - but a soundbar works well.

Unfortunately the LG soundbars - which integrate well with the TV - use a wifi based wireless subwoofer. the soundbar becomes a wifi access point.

There don't appear to be any wired soundbars. I guess a component speaker system + receiver is the solution, which is probably much better sound anyway.
Haha small world! It was at the ANU, intro to statistical machine learning several years ago.

In the early part of my journey into Wandavision I had no idea why things were the way they were, what was real, or what was the point of what I was watching. It was very unsettling to not be able to tell what was real, even in my reality, and for that I LOVED IT. The last time that happened to me was probably the first Matrix in theater.
I just upgraded my ISP's router/modem and got rid of my old mikrotik. Turns out that the new router does not allow me to set custom DNS.

The new system uses a weird management style -- a combination of on router settings (https://10.0.0.1 whatever admin console) and an ISP portal. I can't set port forwarding unless I go to the ISP portal. I suppose it's to support the mobile app they are pushing. The lack of DNS customization is a pain though.
Curious how they're reluctant to mention that one of their ingredients is ammonia. It's immediately obvious that you can't make protein from just CO2 and H2 but for some reason NH3 is only mentioned in one somewhat hidden location on their website and nowhere else.
I am a big proponent of first principles learning but learning a completely adjacent field to be a better developer is like in fhe Karate Kid when he learns to block punches by sanding a deck. Even if the skill transfers its massively less efficient than just practicing the thing you want to get good at.
As a follow up to add more context. Yes, the hassle of getting GNOME running on NetBSD or FreeBSD or OpenBSD has been more recent. GNOME used to be pretty portable, but then some dependencies on systemd specifics and other 'linuxisms' got injected into GNOME and now patches have to be written where patches didn't have to be written in order to run GNOME on the BSDs.

Ehh... Cars are something like an order of magnitude less efficient than street cars.

Street cars are definitely more efficient than buses, unless the buses are also electrified.

The statistics wrap rooftop solar into the “solar” mix so all those DIY/fly-by-night installers who don’t use safety equipment while working at heights and end up killings themselves make solar by far the deadliest energy source in terms of deaths per MW capacity installed.
I don’t think the ambiguity is what the challenges are, but how to solve the problems. And yes, we are unwilling to make sacrifices until the effects are already being strongly felt. This is not a good thing, just a reality of democracy not in chaos.

Climate change is a good one. The threat is real. It is at the door, but unfortunately democracies and capitalism will not really react until it is kicking the door down.

Europe avoided the Hitler problem until they invaded. US avoided Hitler and Japan until Pearl Harbor.

I am agreeing with the author. Democracies need to be stoked into action. Other forms of government are more likely to act quickly, but perhaps rashly. That is my point.
Yes. You can create a kestrel server based web app, and simply run it, for use in localhost.

Adding an nginx as a proxy is also simple.

Nothing enterprisey about it. Also, the "Publish" folder is basically the "build" folders you get from other stacks.
We have a standalone Kohls and Target at the other end of town. The Wal-Mart and Sam's club across the street from the mall are the only thriving businesses.
That is one reason why young people move to, and like to live in, cities with public transportation.

I've simply never heard anyone suggest a move to the city, so they could drink more easily, or more often.

That includes people I grew up with in a rural setting, and people I know well in the large city I now live in.

I feel that this is perhaps a thought given rise, by people who haven't lived without public transit. It just doesn't scan.

Designated drivers have been a thing forever, as well as passing out on a buddy's couch.

If anything, people in rural areas seem to drink more, due to boredom, compared to city dwellers.

Maybe your experiences are different, but it sure seems strange on this side of the screen.
That's not my experience. There were no A-F grade boundaries in any of the schools I've ever attended. Students only ever cared about the one boundary that still remained: minimum passing grade. I saw exactly one student trying to get a teacher to round up a 99% grade to 100% just so he could say he had a perfect grade, nobody else cared about decimals unless they were in danger of failing a class.

Boundaries are the problem. Standardized testing for post-graduate positions in my country would give students bonus points based on their overall academic performance. Full bonus points for grades > 90%, half points for grades > 80%... Of course students wanted to optimize that number as much as possible and I don't really blame them.
I imagine that, at some point, advertising will pay for the costs of internet connections. I can also imagine companies subsidizing the costs of internet connections just so they can get their hands on data, or to accelerate the business model.
Before anyone reads this and decides, "oh ya the NYT is lying to me and gas is fine", it's not. Gas in your home is objectively bad for your health, the environment and is overall worse than induction when it comes to the cooking experience in just about all ways.

That being said, It might not be as bad as living with a smoker (as the NYT asserted) but it is bad for you. The YouTuber Climate Town did an excellent video on gas cooking which exposed some very nasty truths of the gas lobbyists and the negative health effects it has on the population.

The West already did all that. In the 1990s diplomats and businessmen flew to Moscow in droves.
The Russian people chose Putin and a return to the czarist empire.
Looks like a bit of beginner stumble, rather than an issue with .NET.
We are thinking about doing something similar for our kitchen. We currently have a gas range with a over range microwave, but want to replace all that with an induction cook top and a dedicated range hood vented outside (under cabinet or built-in, 700 CFM or so). We lose our microwave and our oven, so we have ti replace those somewhere. I’m liking the microwave oven combos (not the combined microwave convection oven, though that is cool also), which we would have to build a new cabinet for elsewhere, not beneath the cooktop (or maybe a drawer microwave beneath the cook top and the oven…somewhere else?).
That is why you should always avoid your ISP modem/router combos.
That's it. That happens when devs are leveling. At some point, when one finds about "patterns" or other cool feature, they need to put it everywhere, or rewrite everything to "go", or "rust", or "from perl". Unfortunately lots of them publish it. (yes, I've been writing my own php frameworks back then as well)
We are stuck on this planet. There is no other realistic place mankind can live.

Near extinction from nuclear war is far more likely than global warming.
Ukraine had McDonald's since 1997 I don't think this has been a valid theory since at least 2014.

> Housing makes a very substantial portion of family wealth, which is the biggest indicator of educational attainment.

That explains a little—Black people whose parents were redlined into neighborhoods with low property values will inherit a lot less on average than white people. But that only explains so much—few immigrants will ever inherit property in America yet nearly every immigrant group has similar or higher income mobility compared to white Americans: https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/135/2/711/5687353.

Hispanic immigrants, who typically come here at the bottom of the totem pole, reach near parity with whites within three generations. Vietnamese came here as refugees and attained parity with whites within a generation. The only groups which aren’t converging with whites is Black people and Indians (native Americans).

But to circle back to my point, we’re glossing over something important—the “median white income” is illusory! Italian Americans lapped Appalachian Americans despite coming here later and suffering much more discrimination.

If you want to understand what causes structural economic disparities you’re doing yourself a disservice by white American communities that exhibit similar structural and generation economic disparities. Why are Appalachians poor? Why are coastal Oregonians poor?

Ah, and you believe the original post here was talking about Angry, not Sad? (I have a hard time reading "frowny" in general non-Facebook contexts as "angry" instead of "sad", but I also have a lot of weight using the term over the years as part of "frowny pants" and so might be biased.) FWIW, all "reactions"--including Angry--were worth two Likes when they were first introduced (maybe maybe there was one that was worth 1.5? though I think it was all 2.0), but Facebook recently downmodded Angry (only) to be worth zero (but not act as a counter-signal). And, as you seem to understand--though I feel like you fail to appreciate the gravity--neither are inherently negative reactions: if you post something about vaccines (say, to choose something that people get super upset about) and you get a thousand Angry reacts, there is literally no way to know if those people are angry at YOU for posting the article or angry at the CONTENT you posted (commiserating with you), and so this mechanism simply doesn't serve as a "disapproving glare" as it isn't merely context-dependent but subjective in meaning.
Usually in these situations I switch the junior developer to the back end which often increases velocity by 20%. Then let one of the senior devs take a brief vacation since they can be having issues at home. Usually by the time they are back, everything flows smoothly, velocity doubles and clients are pleased. I believe this approach can be tweaked to work even when the back end is done in .NET.
The problem at Fukushima Daiichi was not refurbishment problems: it was the fact that the emergency batteries and generators were in the basement and accessible from the sea-facing side of the structure.

Fukushima Daini did not have those problems, and thus not much drama happened at it:

How much CS theory should I learn for my first entry level software job?
Hello guys and ladies,

I’m a self taught programmer who has been getting software engineering interviews. I’m applying to Software Engineering jobs that require little to no experience.
I’ve studied SICP and HtDP. I have also studied Proofs and CLRS. So as you can see I have studied almost the core of a CS degree.

I have build some math systems in Lisp and Python but nothing great. 600 lines of code or less. Lately I’ve been doing web dev with Django and react. I have built a full stack web with these. So I’ve built a rest api and a frontend to consume this api.

Should I keep applying and just practice leetcode type of problems? Or should I study OS and Software construction from ocw mit? I am also interested in compilers. Should I do these first or can I keep applying to roles? That’s my debate right now. Thanks
