There are far too many counties and entities wanting to start building nuclear power plants and keep old ones running.

Present economically viable sources of uranium will last 150 - 300 years.
This article from 2009 puts the number at at least 200 years. [1]
[ ]
With the number of new reactors coming online (being constructed now),
old ones keep running, and new plant construction would cut that number
significantly.

There is a lot of be claimed from the ocean, current that is not economical.
(and I thibnk it wouldl be horrible for the ocean ecosystem to sift through such volumes).

So usually the argument is

a) That reactors will use torium so it wont be a problem.
b) We will build fuel-recycling fast-breeder reactors already
has enough fuel to run for a billion years.

As far as I know (and on this I might well be), there are no big
commercial thorium or fast breeder reactors in commercial use.

If true that means

a) we cannot build them today, if we want nuclear power fast the reactors
will be tried and true LWRs

b) if we wait for research to finish up it might take a while.

So, the immediate need for power cannot reasonably be met by nuclear.
Waiting for it to replace coal and fossile fuels will not do much in the
immediate future.

Now building a nuclear plant in a democracy filled with bureaucracy is
an extremely long process anyways. Getting all the permits required for
where to build, how to build it, all the protests because nobody wants
it close to them.

When the plant is ready to start construction of a is fast breeder reactor that is economically, scientifically and environmentally viable.
It would be dumb for all the countries to start building Gen 1.
That is more of a beta best.

Get at least a decade of metrics to learn what works, what does not work,
how could it be optimized, what went wrong? Plus, scientific progress would
make Gen2 a better alternative as a template.

After all after Chernobyl and Fukushima I have heard
"Well, those were old plants and we dont build them like that anymore.
The new ones are much safer".

Then building a fast breeder or thorium should be given time to learn
from the process.

I might be totally wrong about how far along the research for fast breeders
and thorium is, and that would make most of the above pointless.

WSL2 all the way. I didn't like Chocolatey.

Just make sure that your actual code/project files are also inside of your WSL (https://dev.to/ajeet/so-you-have-installed-windows-subsystem...)

There's a thing called WSL Bridge that VS Code hooks into, or uses somehow in order to run VS Code in Windows, but it is accessing and running code that's inside the WSL.

I used various terminal programs but the most recent one I used was Windows Terminal: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk...

This alleviated many issues I had and I ended up getting my whole team onboard with the same setup.

We were running Angular apps, and also vanilla JS stuff with Bootstrap, Gulp, Webpack, Live Server.
I'm saying that it's a stretch to assume that kids dying in personal transportation is a problem that would be effectively solved by moving away from personal transportation, unless you don't care about actual deaths and only that they happened in personal transportation. The death rate is low enough that it makes any such claims suspicious.

Institutions get designed around their mandate. If you're trying to run a school system you wouldn't invent a court. If you were trying to deal with violations of law you wouldn't create a school board.

The federal government's mandate was to manage issues that arise between states and each other, between states and other countries and to a lesser extent, to prevent the states from violating the rights of their inhabitants and its architecture reflects that mandate. Over the years the federal government has expanded in scope far beyond the types of issues it was designed with the intent of managing. Expecting that system to provide decisive action on issues that are outside of what the system was designed for is unrealistic.
Agreed. We're becoming more and more a certificate-society than one based on true understanding. There are few mechanisms used to evaluate people's abilities that aren't based on whether or not you have a piece of paper.
If the entire point of this public policy is to create votes for whoever is implementing it, this is exactly the dynamic you'd expect to see.

>Basically I would hope for explanation and normalization along the same lines as divorced parents. Nobody is expecting them to explain why people get divorced, or what sexual orientation is. Just an acknowledgement that it exists, and it's fine, and little Timmy isn't a weirdo because his parents are gay or divorced.

Yes, I don't think the law bars that discussion, especially if the child initiates it. I would hope it wouldn't. Of course it will be up to the courts to interpret what classroom instruction means.

>Maybe on Pride Day they read a children's book where the parents are just incidentally LGBTQ. The "Timmy goes out to play in the rain with his dog, and comes inside muddy. His moms/dads are mad that he tracked mud all over." Doesn't have to be a whole lesson gay identity and culture, just a reminder that not everyone has the same kind of family. They honestly should do the same thing with single/divorced parents; I don't feel like they exist in children's books either.

I think on Pride Day, they should teach colors and math and reading just like every day to K-3 kids. Why introduce this to the curriculum? Why introduce the concept that some kid's parents are drug addicts? It just doesn't belong. Parents can do that if they feel it's important for their kids to learn, not the public schools.

Also consider the kid who's parents are gay could certainly feel that this whole discussion is singling them out and not like having the teacher bring it up. Just because a teacher intends the discussion to make someone feel inclusive doesn't mean it won't have the opposite affect in a child's mind. Kids can also be cruel, imagine during the discussion some kid says, "Ha ha, Jimmy has two mommies!" followed by snickers and laughs. That's certainly not the outcome you are imagining, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. Now the kid feels like an utter outcast, the exact opposite of the intent. Best just to stick to the basics of elementary education and not let teachers go, "off script."

Okay, so your answer is that you're going to aim for the high end, and your going to waste the extra energy as heat when required on the short term and turn entire plants off during seasonal lulls.

This is called "overprovisioning" and it's exactly what renewables intend to do. In both cases it's more expensive than having magical demand matching production.

Or your going to use it to desalinate when power is abundant. This is "demand response" and again, it's exactly what renewables grids are going to do.

I see you also want to create Hydrogen, another great idea that renewables also plan to do, except nuclear generated is called Pink Hydrogen and renewable powered is called Green Hydrogen for some reason. Same basic idea though.

So, I don't understand why you're so angry about renewables when you already know all the solutions a fossil free grid needs.

> No amount of solar panels will produce energy when the sun is down.

Did you happen to notice where the bottom of the lumps in your graph were? Nighttime. So we'll need some wind power and/or storage and/or HVDC lines.

But if you have to pretend you've never heard of wind power in order to justify nuclear power, maybe that's a sign that it's not as good an idea as you think.

And finally, the reason we don't have much storage on the grid today, is because we burn fossil fuels for a great deal of power and turning them off actually saves money (and lives) so that's what we do rather than store energy.

I'm fairly chill about storage because cheap solar that lets you turn off gas during the day and cheap wind that lets you turn gas off another half of the time is the quickest and cheapest way to stop burning fossil fuels. We only need to come up with crazy solutions once we try to get rid of the last few bits of fossil fuels. And you already listed them for a fully nuclear grid so we don't need to go over that again.

Some people try to act all appalled about that, as if burning 80% less fossil fuels easily at an overall cost saving in a short period of time is some big conspiracy by fossil fuel companies to undermine nuclear. It doesn't really pencil out though. Not even if you pretend wind power doesn't exist.

Torrents are too complicated for most people, compared to the ease of buying an 'Android TV box' at a cell phone store, Craiglist or flea market, and paying $15/month for cable channels and TV/movie streaming. The UI is relatively good, worlds apart from the 2010 era when finding shows and episodes required going through a list of gorillavid.com links.
most folks here are overthinking/armchairing the problem. coffee shop owners have their economics figured out or they wouldn't stay in business. cafes (like the dozens near me) are perfectly capable of sustaining their business with a blend of folks grabbing coffee to go and others sitting for hours.

you don't need to institute limits, subscriptions, nudges, or any other customer-hostile action. just price well, and provide value beyond your costs. one pro-customer option is providing food (beyond pastries) for the lingerers, which adds some marginal cost but adds significant marginal revenue.

Didja know you can use org-mode to handle this as a todo? For example:

An app is only affected by CVE-2022-0540 when both of the following conditions are true:

It’s installed in one of the affected Jira or Jira Service Management versions listed above

It’s using a configuration vulnerable to CVE-2022-054

If you’re unable to install a fixed version of Jira or Jira Service Management and you’re using any affected apps, refer to the table in the Determining which apps are affected section above to determine if non-affected versions of those apps are available. If so, update any affected apps to a non-affected version.

As a last resort, if you’re using any apps listed in the Determining which apps are affected section and all versions of the app are affected, you can mitigate the security risk by disabling the app until you’re able to install a fixed version of Jira or Jira Service Management.

(Apparently, if you have a default Jira you can just update the Mobile plugin for now).

One of my favorite things about keeping aquarium fish has been watching the ways they interact with currents in the water. Move the filter output and the flow changes, and the fish adjust their movements around the tank accordingly. Different species have different shapes and different behaviors leading them to move through the water in a variety of ways. I think we still have a lot to learn from the efficiency of fish.

One of our neighbors screamed at my wife and me because our six year old son wasn’t wearing a helmet on his Razer scooter to (slowly) go around the corner. That same neighbor let her dog run around off-leash at the park, assuring the parents there that the dog didn’t bite, though it did like to jump on the children. We raised our kids in Portland, where dogs have more rights and freedom than children.

Hah I’m American and bought Marmite because Kenji Lopez Alt of Serious Eats fame suggested it as a great way to add Umami flavoring to a dish.

I mostly add it to other dishes, such as an ingredient in pot roast, but I did try it a thin layer on toast with some butter and I like it! Very intense but interesting flavor. My kids and wife go “yuuuck!” When they see the jar, though.
I don't buy from Amazon anymore, and sadly I haven't found a good source for Marmite yet. Amazon must be losing money on the international shipping, ordering from places that actually charge shipping comes out to like $30/500g jar, too much for me :(

I remember watching this video [1] about that same guy.

> "The Hackney Mole Man", In 2006, a network of tunnels were discovered beneath a house in Hackney, London. This discovery initiated a wave of public concern and media attention revolving around a lone figure, known locally as 'the Mole Man'.

Also, following an artist mentioned in the video, I tracked this page [2] and an interesting excerpt:

> Though flattered by my interest, the Mole Man proved to be extraordinarily difficult to work with. He was extremely racist, misogynistic and paranoid, and was only interested in talking about my sex life. His elusive, subterranean behavior – in many ways like that of an actual mole – and his obsession with tunnels was the ultimate Freudian manifestation. I soon realized, though, that the sexual overtones of our relationship threatened to over-take the project completely.

Well, that's not the only thing that has changed. 40 years ago when I was walking to elementary school nobody, absolutely nobody, was driving a pick-up truck except to a farm or job site. Now the majority of people are driving vehicles that are much larger than a 1982-model work pickup, and with 5-10x the engine power. Although I admit up-front that the national statistics are badly skewed by the fact that Florida is the most dangerous place on earth for pedestrians, the national pedestrian fatality rate doubled in the 20 years to 2020. Part of this is the built environment and part is what that built environment enabled: people barreling down roads that are far too wide in cars that are far too large, and doing it while browsing Instagram with one hand and both eyes.

A bottle of wine and maybe a couple beers keeps me pleasantly drunk for the night. It's not exactly moderate drinking, but I think you'd be surprised how many people can comfortably drink that amount over the course of a night. Not going to pretend it's good for you, but my liver levels and everything else are in great shape in spite of nights like that.

To the original point, if I suddenly started having any kind of pressure or discomfort in the liver region after having even one drink, I'd be in the doctor's office ASAP. It might just be gas or it might be something much worse. It isn't worth waiting around to find out
Experience (both from work on either Alexa or a similar system in previous years, and as an actual user) tells me that yes, people do often say things that don't "look correct". From personal experience I know that something about the pressure of knowing that the device will detect the end of your utterance before you're ready, if you're silent for too long, can end up rushing you and scrambling your brain a little. Even if you ordinarily have near-perfect instincts for English grammar and sentence construction, you can end up saying some pretty weird things.

But thinking of them as user mistakes, and framing them as "correct" or "incorrect", is counterproductive here. It may be a useful distinction as a learner, when you're trying to improve your own command of the language. But when they're inputs to your system, you have to do your best to do what the user meant, if that's possible to infer. All three of your examples are actually clear, if nonstandard (play music again; tell me what album the currently playing music is from; list my alarms). So a system that takes these as input should handle them as valid requests, not classify them as "incorrect". It might be different for a system designed to teach 'proper' English, rather than a system designed to enact the user's will.

Even so, github does have a ton of very very popular C libraries(like https://github.com/nothings/stb). I was bringing up the OS provided ones since they claimed not to be able to find any. My main point is that it is patently absurd to claim that they could not find C libraries.

I'm starting to question my understanding of algorithmic complexity, the author says things like "complexity being worst case O(n \log n)" and seems to talk about big O notation used for average cases as well.

I've learned that big O notation is always and exclusively about the worst case, for average and best cases we use Theta Θ and Omega Ω, respectively.

Do people not follow these definitions strictly? Has the author committed a mistake or am I missing something?

I did experience an interviewer once saying that my complexity analysis was wrong as the worst case would be extremely rare to hit, I did try to explain nicely that big O notation is always about the worst case, and that they were thinking about big Theta instead, now I wonder if I was wrong.
I don't think it's as malicious as you're implying. Educators went to school at a time when people who went to college earned dramatically more than those who didn't and they were pretty much guaranteed job placements. That's still true today in aggregate, although probably to a lesser extent. They also didn't anticipate that universities would become predatory with respect to ballooning costs and stagnating or declining educational quality. Moreover, they didn't realize that the kids they were referring to college were part of a flood of students who would saturate the job market with degree-holders (lowering the value of a degree with respect to job placement). Further still, they didn't know that the subprime mortgage bubble existed much less that it would burst in '07-'08.
