> The users can't see all their stars, they can only see their stars for the public repos. There's no way to find or unstar a private repo that you starred while it was public. This would lead to the situation that if you unstar everything and make sure you have zero stars, you could wake up the next week with 1 starred repos, and then with 3 starred repos, because some repos went public again.

Sounds fine and expected to me.
Maybe they figure people would rather use the C port for something else?

I feel like a barrel jack may be more resilient, if you're plugging it in twice a day.
>What you're missing is that someone has to manage the AWS servers running the database.

I didn't miss that. Someone also has to manage the servers running the blockchain.

>With Bitcoin, you are user and "manager" of the server at the same time.

I'm sorry what, no you aren't. At minimum, an external group of miners are managing the servers. You're paying them transaction fees to run the network, and you have to trust them not to attack the network, through a 51% attack or through something else. That doesn't even get into all the other parties you have to interact with and trust to do any kind of real business on a blockchain.

>No single party needs to keep track of transactions and be the source of truth.

Except there is a single party, that party is the miners. You could tell me that your point is how this party is loosely connected, but so are a lot of cloud businesses.

>That was not possible before and it is the innovation behind blockchain and bitcoin.

No, it was possible to create distributed systems and consensus algorithms long before blockchains. That isn't an innovation at all.
It changes it in the sense that the theorized cause of her temporal lobe being missing (a stroke in infancy) is quite possibly false, and it's actually some sort of genetic trait. Of course, perhaps they were both predisposed to strokes in that lobe, but in either case it adds an extra dimension to the context in which the brain is still very functional with unconventional biology.
At this point, nobody wants to change the policy. Not the greens, not the conservative party, nor the companies that own these power plants. It is simply not possible to run a dozen nuclear reactors on a two-weeks'-notice timescale, at least not in a democracy that respects property rights and safety practices.

It's also economically unsound and technologically misguided, since nuclear power cannot replace the role gas has in the European grid.
Isn't battery storage the baseload solution for renewable power? And it doesn't have to be lithium batteries, there are cheaper alternatives if you don't need the batteries to be that small.
Octopuses have like six of ‘em, which makes it even stranger that they don’t have societies or live longer than a few years.

Thanks for the suggestion on TamperMonkey, I'll check it out.
> This can mean that it will decline less than cash (i.e. inflation)

This is meaningless because stock price is denominated in dollars. Inflation expectation means that the stock price is going up; that is, be worth more in dollars. Anyone choosing to hold a stock prefers that stock more than the dollar price it would fetch. Otherwise they would sell.

Also, Chernobyl was due to a completely incompetent plant manager. They intentionally disabled many fail safes in order to get the plant into a vulnerable state.
That's not a bad outlook and I had never thought of it that way. Even if I don't finish the project, at least I'm actively coding and having fun. Thanks!
Many takeover offers tend to fall towards the high end of the stock's all time high so that shareholders feel like they are at least getting out without a loss. He needs to go closer to $70 if he wants to be taken seriously. If he can't justify the $70+ price then the investment is not worth it. If it's true what he said that he is buying it to help the world rather than for profit then $70+ price should be easy to justify.

>lots of converting old rail right of ways to trails or redeveloping them

Once you make a decision that you don't want something any longer you can't just keep it in stasis forever just in case. As others have mentioned, in many cases, rails converted to trails do maintain railroad right of ways against a future change of heart. Of course, in practice, converting a well-used rail trail back to rail of some sort would be deservedly unpopular in most cases.

The quantity of highly radioactive waste honestly isn't that large. It probably won't have to be stored that long; per [0] (turn on captions if you don't speak Dutch) that volume, given current energy usage in a first world country like the Netherlands, might amount to that of an apple per lifetime. That's tiny! Given advances in spaceflight in recent decades, we might be able to affordably send that amount of radioactive matter off the planet entirely. The sun seems like a fine place to safely put it for 100,000 years.

Nuclear power plants can adjust output by about +- 5 percentage points per 15 minutes. That allows reacting to demand and other producers on the timescale of daily fluctuations. Gas can be regulated +- 100 % within minutes, and +- 15 % almost instantaneously, allowing you to react to sudden unexpected changes.

They want the deal to be rejected (i.e call it too low), so musk sells his current shares, dropping the price into the 30’s, so they cN cover their short sale.
Ran that through Google Translate, here's a fundamental point:

> "An extension of the service life would not make Germany less dependent on Russian natural gas, since gas is only used to a small extent for electricity production in Germany, adds König. In addition, Russia is an important supplier of uranium and fuel elements, which are absolutely necessary. In view of the fact that the six active nuclear power plants would have contributed 12 percent to Germany's electricity supply in 2020, the great effort required to start up the nuclear safety apparatus again is not worth it. "With renewables, we can achieve our goals of climate protection and independence from Russia much more safely, quickly and cheaply," says König."

The UK has stated that "all options are in the table" if there is a chemical attack. The implication to me is that a kinetic response would then be a possibility, since everything else is basically being done at this point..

I had no idea it was that dangerous. Thank you for informing. I didn't mean to make light of the danger.
I hope it does well and the range ends up expanding a bit, it would be nice to see some options with discreet GPUs (and higher res displays). The pricing seems reasonable and more support for Linux is always welcome
That's true, but it would be equally true of a backdoor inserted at the foundry by the technique described in TFA. Also, it is possible to insert back doors into hardware in ways that would be very hard to spot even by people familiar with the design. I've seen automated design tools emit some pretty weird shit, and for all I know it might have been a back door. But it passed LEC and DRC so it shipped.

>Note that you’re choosing to spend your time on HN (a relatively strongly moderated forum) instead of a less moderated forum like 8chan’s /b/.

>Free speech in the sense of “everybody should be forced to platform every idea” is silly IMO.

This is a strawman. Nobody forced twitter to build twitter. When you build an open platform and let anyone sign up, you're offering a platform. When you then arbitrarily decide to remove people from it for wrongthink you're reneging on the deal. Framing it as "forced to platform every idea" is nonsense. Phone companies are literally required not to discriminate based on content and it's been on the whole a good thing. I don't know why social media gets to be both a platform and an editorial board. It's bullshit.

>ote that you’re choosing to spend your time on HN (a relatively strongly moderated forum) instead of a less moderated forum like 8chan’s /b/.

Why do moderators always act like a person can only use one website? Is it a power thing? I use reddit, facebook, hn, .win, poal, twitter, and 4chan almost every day.

>If you want your platform to be about anything other than those, you need curation and moderation. This is key for a good user experience.

This is just your opinion. For me a good user experience isn't even possible if I'm silenced or "moderated" (read: censored).
Ah yes. I agree that’s an agree-together-or-else decision.

But there are many mundane things that destroy marriages; and is inherent to the ambition territory. Long hours, missed family gatherings, etc.
Typically native development environments offer platform specific capabilities. Using a cross platform tool means you are not taking full advantage of what a platform offers to make an experience shine.

But the real problem is that organizations that trade quality for cost/development time at the architectural level also typically sacrifice quality at every other level. This means that cross platform apps come away with a reputation for being low quality products.
Oh, I'm not talking legislative probability. I was responding to the comment that it's somehow an unfathomable thought to have different 'carve outs' for different people in tax law (or anywhere, really) when that is standard practice in reality already.

It's understandable why warnings are used instead of undos though. Warnings are dirt simple to implement - probably a single line of code in most languages. Undo is very complex by comparison.

The article covers this. The electricity that would be produced by the plants is enough to offset 100% of Russian natural gas imports.

Gas and electricity are not entirely fungible, but Germany uses enough natural gas to produce electricity to cover the reduced imports.

What part of "I want less censorship and more 'free speech'" implies that censorship needs to go to 0 and free speech needs to go to 100? Drawing somewhat arbitrary lines between what is acceptable and what is unacceptable is not the impossibly difficult task that people who make this argument like to think it is. The US first amendment excludes certain types of speech and it hasn't been a problem.

I'm an amateur blogger and programmer, running a custom-made static site on a Linode VM with Caddy [1]. I don't use containers or CDNs or anything fancy; my site generator just spits HTML into a folder and I rsync it to the server.

Do I need anything more than this? Is there some modern technology that is demonstrably better than my workflow? I worry I've been left behind, but I also find containers and other modern obsessions to be overkill for my needs.

Thanks for any and all advice.

The lower lizard brain is enough yo keep you alive
My wife has white coat syndrome.

There was a time (~7 years ago). We were living in NYC. The doctors office was at the top of 5 flights of stairs and the elevator was out. Having just climbed 5 flights of stairs and telling the doctor she has white coat syndrome, they _immediately_ take her blood pressure. Noting it’s (unsurprisingly) high, suggests she go on blood pressure medication. A decision that would surely have damaged her health.

4 years ago, we told her OBGYN she had white coat syndrome. We got a blood pressure cuff to use at home that recorded every reading (including date/time) so we could bring it in to her. Every reading at home, out and about, was good - even borderline low. At the doctors office, it was always high. The doctor, knowing this, STILL tried to suggest we induce early labor.

TL;DR - doctors will kill you. Your health is your own - don’t delegate the most important decision in your life.

I don’t know much beyond the surface w.r.t. PayPal, but it’s quite a distortion of history to claim that all Musk did was ‘just buy Tesla’.

Why I think he upended the auto industry:

- He bought Tesla within the first two years (IIRC) of it being founded; before there was even a working prototype

- He laid out the groundwork for the three-stage plan, and followed through

- Stage 1: Prototype -> Roadster
- Stage 2: Model S/X
- Stage 3: Model 3/Y

- He adopted high-tech in Teslas which make them compelling and ‘cool’ (for the general public), through Autopilot, games (Cuphead, Asteroids, etc), video (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc), OTA software updates, and more

And, the most important piece:

- He led and developed the Supercharger network initiative, partially solving the problem of EVs as true ICE replacements

Each of those decisions could have, and likely would have, been handled differently by Random CEO. It was only through each of those decisions, and a lot of luck, that Tesla is a viable car company today.

I’m quick to criticize Musk, but what he did with Tesla is truly incredible and deserving of praise.

Welcome to “Russian Dissent”
Commercial nuclear plants are designed to handle baseload, because the marginal cost to a nuclear power plant of producing power is near-zero, so this is where they have the biggest comparative advantage—or the smallest disadvantage, depending.

The technology certainly can be used for peaker plants. But at grid scale? That would be an entirely novel design. I don't think any such plants exist outside of warships.

Why are people still referring to these numbers when talking about nuclear safety? They are obviously off by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude.

We build about 250 nuclear plants over the past 50y, and we had two disasters that displaced thousands of peoples and made huge area inhabitable for centuries.

Doing a "regular" ECO to push a RTL change to the gate-level netlist (bypassing regular synthesis) is already a very difficult process. The hardest part is figuring out how your RTL maps to the optimized gates - and this is with full access to the RTL and netlist. I can't imagine someone being able to manage to pull this off from an unknown netlist and successfully understand, let alone modify, the design.
Ok then.

One should understand important thing - auto business is multistep business. - You pay first time when buy machine from dealer, and than each time, when service, or when buy accessories or when make customizations.

Sure, exist non-authorized accessories/customizations, but every adequate auto producer constantly monitor market, and demands patent fees from every 3rd party, who reach some sells volume.

In this sad case, auto producer finded way to turn off large market, without need to ask every tiny customizer.

Looks like, this community need something like decentralized web.

People, you should understand important thing - auto producers spend huge money for research, including market watch - typical number ~2-3k$ per machine, but some producers spend more than 5k$ per machine, imagine these numbers.
