What nonsense. I'm not denying power or energy density of nuclear is higher, I'm denying that this bare fact is relevant to any decision that we might make about using nuclear to power civilization.

And no, power and energy density do not determine cost, in general. They might if all else were equal, but all else is NOT equal. Renewable sources can omit entire categories of equipment that thermal power plants require, and have a much lower requirement on reliability (both because the individual units are smaller, and because the consequences of their catastrophic failure are vastly smaller.)

And no, nuclear's longevity and reliability do not pay for themselves. You're engaging in a bit of confrontation with economic reality there.

Pointing to nuclear reactions occurring in the Sun and pretending that justifies using nuclear on Earth is just completely absurd.
It’s pretty easy to pick back up and get in the swing of things - and very fun too. Lambda expressions and async programming might take the most study and practice to really feel comfortable using. Blazor server side is a new but very accessible paradigm, particularly with free component libraries like Radzen and MudBlazor. Dapper helps as an alternative for those not willing to go full EF for data access. Visual Studio 2022 is a nice, refreshingly automated environment. Azure has a ton of ridiculously fun tools like devops, key vault, functions, app service, etc.

> In November 2012 it was discovered that over 5,000 small components used in five reactors at Yeonggwang Nuclear Power Plant had not been properly certified; eight suppliers had faked 60 warranties for the parts. Two reactors were shut down for component replacement, which was likely to cause power shortages in South Korea during the winter.[23] Reuters reported this as South Korea's worst nuclear crisis, highlighting a lack of transparency on nuclear safety and the dual roles of South Korea's nuclear regulators on supervision and promotion.[24] This incident followed the prosecution of five senior engineers for the coverup of a serious loss of power and cooling incident at Kori Nuclear Power Plant, which was subsequently graded at INES level 2.[23][25]

> In 2013, there was a scandal involving the use of counterfeit parts in nuclear plants and faked quality assurance certificates. In June 2013 Kori 2 and Shin Wolsong 1 were shut down, and Kori 1 and Shin Wolsong 2 ordered to remain offline, until safety-related control cabling with forged safety certificates is replaced.[26] Control cabling in the first APR-1400s under construction had to be replaced delaying construction by up to a year.[27] In October 2013 about 100 people were indicted for falsifying safety documents, including a former chief executive of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and a vice-president of Korea Electric Power Corporation.[28]

Indie movies are absolutely notorious for their habit of appealing to low intelligence people, it's practically their main market. They don't have much budget to tell an interesting story with, and are often being written by grant funded people without much experience and who are just desperate to make a movie (any movie) so they end up relying a lot on faux depth and complicated BS to make the movie seem like it has more to say than it really does. Critics lap that stuff up but most people who just want to be entertained with a risky but well made idea that doesn't puff itself up, the bigger studios are where you'll find them.
That is just politics speaking. Massively subsidizing renewables and smack talking nuclear is an easy pass to a political career. But reality is immutable - nuclear energy is without competition.

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

Check the above. Denmark is 100% nuclear free (runs on mostly renewables but it imports), Germany i think runs on about 10% nuclear. France runs in 70% nuclear. The cost speaks for itself.
I also noticed that the reimplementation uses `receiver deepCopy` for each message send to preserve the original object, so that side effects would not affect the receiver.

>The fact that Putin argues that Ukranians don't exist and that they all are Russians just supports that it isn't a genocide

as it turns out, the exact opposite is true. attempting to erase a people (as in "the Ukrainian people") is a pretty common aspect of genocide, and includes forcibly destroying their identity as a unique people

>Prematurely calling it a genocide just makes people stop listening to you.

then it is good that nobody has done so prematurely, as people have not stopped listening (unless you personally constitute "people" ;)

for more examples of the genocide you're denying, a non-comprehensive list of genocidal policies russia employs in Ukraine is at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31447187
Ukraine is the victim. The main secondary victims are poor countries who depend on wheat imports.

Germany is not an aggressor, per see, but their poor judgement in their relations with Russia has certainly contributed.

Germany may point to WW2 and say "Never again", but if they insist on looking that far back, one could even argue that they made the biggest contribution of all to the apparent of Putin to surround himself with buffer states.

And while we are back in WW2, German aggression in the 1930's is one of the primary reasons everyone in Europe (except, it seems, Germany and Hungary) become so paranoid when a powerful a country start to annex it's neighbours.

Had Hitler stopped after taking the Sudetenland in 1938, modern Europeans might have been much less likely to assume that Putin would annex all of Ukraine and then proceed to Poland, the Baltics etc.

By no means to I blame modern Germans for what happened 80 years ago, but I do hope that Germany can put WW2 behind them, and do their share in contributing to stability in Europe going forward.

Imagine what the situation in Europe would be if someone like Trump wins in 2024, and decides to pull the USA out of NATO?
Was it obvious? All these gas contracts were made decades ago. That Putin unmasked himself as Stalin 2.0 was a bit of a shock.

I live in San Antonio, Texas and I chatted with my plumber about this when I had to have a gas pipe moved for a kitchen renovation. According to him, if you get your master's license most folks run crews, because you can bill out master rate and supervise and certify journeyman work and the city requires a master's license to pull permits, which is a big chunk of what you pay for as the buyer.

Now, I know that construction trades are boom/bust because I have family in the trades too. I also know the going rate for a master plumber in San Antonio is around $120/hr and it's higher these days due to job demand / labor shortages. $120/hr if you work full time is $250k a year, so I have a hard time believing a plumber still makes $40k/yr in San Antonio, Texas. Journeyman on crews usually get paid $30/hr which is $62k/yr, and roughly the median household income in San Antonio.
He did a follow up video with LTT explaining everything (while building a PC). He got the script on/near to the day and it made no sense to him either. He may have made some mistakes under the pressure, but Verge was to blame for 90% of that train wreck.
I’m perhaps in a similar camp, years of experience during the .NET 4 era, a lot of TypeScript and Rust after that.

Recently, I went back to C# for a smaller project. The .NET ecosystem certainly has its advantages compared to the “wild west” of NPM, which includes Visual Studio/JetBrains Rider.

My main problem was that the language feels so dated at this point. Why can’t I make local variables immutable? Why are there still no algebraic types? Why do the new nullability rules feel so inconsistent and tacked on, with “String?” and “DateTime?” behaving completely differently?

I realize not everybody cares about these “modern” features as much as I do, but once you’ve wired your brain to think about program composition in a way that simply feels better to you, it’s very frustrating to go “back”.

.

Edit: It’s not like the C# team is unaware of or in any way against these proposals. There just seems to be little visible progress:

Algebraic types: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/113

Const locals: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/188
The main use case is that you have a document from a third party provider, e.g. bank, government office, etc. which needs to be pre-filled with your data.

My current (financial sector) and my previous employer (energy industry) use such a solution and the existing solutions are very complicated and also way to expensive, IMHO.
> It does not mean anything if they can't decide when they export it.

That makes no sense. The market (demand & supply) decides. The static model is long past.

> Waht matters though, is that most of the time their electricity has an awful carbon footprint w.r.t what the wealthiest country in Europe should afford.

Germany isn't the wealthiest country in Europe. That it has more inhabitants than, for example Norway, does not make the average German richer.

So the takeaway is just adapt.

The main idea of using code blocks for math is to protect its content from being messed with. Markdown parsers do that by default, so that's how it's "natural". As you mention, the drawback is that you can't have a codeblock with syntax highlighting for a language called "math" (should there ever be one), but that seems like a small price to pay.

> But when it comes nuclear power vs coal and gas, the only data I can find seems to make this issue completely black and white (at least for developed countries).

I think you are confusing a conclusion, which can be rendered as a Yes or No decision, with the reasons that lead to such a conclusion. Even if your own conclusion is very clear, the process of weighing pros and cons can still be quite complex and difficult. This is what I meant when I said that such issues are usually not black and white. In such debates as how best to support Ukraine or how best to care for our planet, I think one should first and foremost recognise that people, who come to a different conclusion from oneself, do so with the best ethical intentions and are perhaps no less intelligent or manipulated than oneself is. Of course, there might be a lot of people on either side which are not, but I am sure there are also a lot of people, who know there math and physics very well and nevertheless come to a different conclusion. Then the real intellectual work starts: listen, listen, listen and refine your arguments. I do not mean that you should not be allowed to completely disagree, but that showing respect to other smart people's opinions is an important individual virtue as well as an important public virtue in a democratic society, which benefits much more from a reflective style of debate than from a confrontation of We against the Others.

"because in the 50'someone wanted to segregate themselfs"

Don't judge lest ye be judged yourself. We do not know personally how all the housing conditions looked like in the 50's, and a lot of mundane facts weren't interesting enough to make it to history books.

We may actually be making similar decisions right now, unaware of their future ramifications that will bite our descendants in 2100.

Personally, I grew up in a block of flats, lived in blocks of flats my entire life, and I yearn for a bit of a garden. In autumn, I am moving to a terrace house that has a bit of garden. It is close to public transport and not isolated in the middle of nowhere - things are different in Europe in this regard - but still lower density than technocrats probably consider optimal.

But I am really tired of 44 years of hearing shouting, fighting, abuse, drinking, puking and all sorts of mayhem from all directions. My new home won't be a tranquil paradise, but it will likely be an improvement for my nerves.

I'm from Germany and I had an issue with this two times. The first time was when I torrented a Movie when I was like 17, and got a C&D which ordered me to pay a €1000 fine. Got a lawyer (which cost around €500) and never heard back. Two years later they sent a letter again, because of the same thing and demanded €2000, to which I just didn't respond.

The time window from me torrenting to the letter being sent was around 2 months, not that bad.

Nowadays, I just use a VPN & Torrent Caching, no issue at all (40 TB and counting) :)
The gist: On hotter nights people get less sleep, this being especially the case for people who are poor (limited access to AC?) and who already live in hot climates (100->110 deg is more noticeable than 70->80).

It’s nice data. They gave sleep tracking watches to 47,000 subjects for a few years, and this is what came out of it.

Their climate change angle is suspect. It probably helps publish to be relevant to a real-world problem. But their final paragraph undermines the projections they try to make: people adapt to the long-term weather patterns, and they’ll likely partially adapt to climate change occurring over the course of 50 years. Of course it’s still relevant from a health equity standpoint to consider.
What I don't like about this terminology is that I associate these "schemes" with a malicious actor. Someone trying to scam you. But often that's not the case with these crypto projects. Often, nobody is explicitly trying to scam anyone, but everyone looks out for themselves first and wants to make money, which inevitably results in other people losing money if they are too late.

If a traditional startup is valued at $10M, I'm sure many founders would choose abandon it and take $5M in cash if only they could. The difference is that the liquidity is not there, so the option doesn't exist. In crypto, protocol founders may not start the project with the goal of abandoning it, but once they can choose between cashing out with $5M by abandoning it, they take that route because they can. People then call this a "rug pull" or "ponzi scheme" but I don't think the intentions are the same.

Germany abandoning nuclear has been decades in the making, it does not come as a surprise. If we look at the whole picture without focusing on one particular energy source, then we can see that they have reduced their CO2 emissions over the years. Not by much, but it's expected to improve when they close down their coal plants.
No. There are tons of people who sympathise with that viewpoint.

The "death of expertise" phenomenon is given a grandiloquent title to cover up what it's really about: the death of trust in academia. Experts are a much larger category of people than academics and there's no generalized crisis of confidence in e.g. plumbers, electrical engineers, advertising executives, whatever. But those people are rarely interviewed as "experts" by the media and political classes. Instead, when these people push for new social policies on the back of "expertise" it's always academics.

And that's a problem because universities don't care about quality control at all and so academic expertise is absolutely overrun with fraud, stupidity, dishonesty and pervasively low standards. The average well read intelligent person not only can beat the career scientist in many fields, but often will, simply because the distorting effects of the academic system are so large.

@Gwypaas. Do you have any numbers about how much the corruption you're referring to affected the total price? It can be hard to tell from a few headlines.

>Observers of the global political landscape have noted swift, drastic changes starting in the second decade of this century.

Most indicators show this started around 2009, at the latest. Slightly before social media existed, but certainly long before real proliferation.

Studies which have worked on this have showed very low correlation in blaming social media.

>Academic literature studying these trends has identified a number of factors explaining the rise of populism through both economic and cultural grievances, driven by such phenomena as automation, globalization, austerity, refugee crises, and climate change. Another important open question is whether there is something inherent in social media that makes them more likely to carry messages of an extreme, xenophobic, or populist nature.

This is studying populism as if it were bad? lol what? their failure to understand this will make conclusions basically impossible for them.

Populism is 'for the people' to not be a populist is to be an elite or bourgeois. That's anti-democratic. To be against populism is to be for autocracy. The sudden increase in populism is because we have democratic sliding toward autocracy. If these grievances aren't addressed, it will result in revolution.

>Several countries have recently adopted measures to regulate the propagation of hate speech, and many more policy proposals are being discussed.

No such thing has happened. They are adopting measures to regulate speech. The addition of 'hate' is absurd at best.

Here's the better reality.

For practically the first time in human history politicians are being instantly caught in their lies. They are being held accountable and so they went to the antiquated media to spread lies for them. Mislabeling legitimate stories like hunter biden laptop or legitimate protests as 'a bunch of deplorable white supremacists who arent white' for example. Then they are deciding to create 'disinformation governance boards' aka ministry of truth. Which didn't go well because the person who got assigned pushed alot of disinformation. They also regulated social media but they couldn't completely censor subjects as well as need to. Next step was obviously censor speech.

They unfortunately only delayed their problems. The antiquated media who spread lies are collapsing. Grievances that go unaddressed in a democracy will fester. I dont agree 2nd american civil war has started but I seem to have virtually no one agreeing with me.

Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason. Social media sped up this process, we smell them far sooner.

Just having a regular fan helps a lot. Very little energy usage, very cheap. I bought a new fan a few weeks ago, one that is nearly soundless in its lowest setting. Even the slight breeze made by the lowest setting already makes a huge difference compared to stale hot air. It also uses an order of magnitude less energy than an A/C, and costs an order of magnitude less to purchase+install (100 EUR vs 3000 EUR).
