Developing effective renewables does not preclude the development of nuclear power. Switching completely to renewables in the very short term is not feasible, and it will take particularly long in areas that aren't well-suited to any of the main renewable power technologies. Also, many governments provide ridiculous fossil fuel subsidies, which should be eliminated, freeing up money.

New nuclear power plants will provide huge amounts of very-low-environmental-impact power for decades to come, it's not like its a wasted investment.

Your second sentence seems to make the assumption that every nuclear power project will be cancelled, over budget and late, which is obviously wrong. The fact that you'd write that shows a bad-faith argument.

You've also ignored the whole "nuke" thing.

I strongly recommend watching this great Kurzgesagt video to help inform yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhAemz1v7dQ.
Of course they are. There are a lot of Europeans that are descendent of Africans too. What's your argument here? Skin tone not satisfactory?
Seems like you're jumping through a like of hoops to write thing in a Java-like fashion when you could be using Java, which has a much healthier ecosystem.
> If someone is writing a new program, do they really need to know how the GET request works at the level you post, and the difference between header and body?

I'd argue yes. If for no other reason than the number of times I've seen teams get roadblocked by CORS because they cannot figure out how to configure their servers to handle it. (And the number of interviews when people have dug into whether or not I knew how to resolve CORS errors.)

The headers, body, response... all of these are core to what the app actually does as it glues the front-end and back-end together. A lack of understanding leads to teams who get it working once, and thenceforth treat that connection as a black box with a small number of wizards who need to be invoked to troubleshoot problems.

You don't need to know everything in depth or spend a ton of time on it, but you need to know enough to debug problems at least well enough to identify the source of the problem so you can go do the research to find the answer.
>>>The weapons used in these shootings are inevitably AR15 variants.

False. The Virginia Tech shooter killed 32 people with a pair of pistols. It remains the deadliest school shooting in the US, and surpassed as deadliest mass shooting only by Orlando (49 dead, 2016) and Las Vegas (60 dead, 2017).

2015's second-deadliest: pistols and a revolver. He had a rifle but didn't use it (Umpqua College)

2014's deadliest: knives, pistol, car (Isla Vista)

2013's deadliest: shotgun (DC Naval Yard)

Review the list for yourself below, sort by death toll, then go to each shooting's page, which lists the weapons used.

> Restricting guns, ammo, attachments, magazine sizes etc are not effective forms of gun control imo.

Of course restricting magazines and accessories is not effective. They're only brought into the argument by people who don't want effective gun control.

But restricting guns and ammo is absolutely effective. The UK has a sixtieth of the rate of gun deaths compared to the US. And the UK is no paragon. Its rate is much higher than it should be, in my view, because a lot of gun crime is gang related so does not get the attention it deserves. A more reasonable rate would be closer to Japan's which is about a quarter of the UK's. Much lower and you likely start requiring genuinely authoritarian regimes such as Singapore or HK.

The US could absolutely get to saner gun crime and homicide levels if there was any real will to do so but there isn't. Of course it wouldn't happen overnight but it doesn't have to.

The real problem, in my opinion, is that the US is so de-sensitised to extreme violence that they can never have the equivalent of the collective traumatisation that the UK had after Dunblane. That was the spur we needed to put rational gun laws in place. The balance in the US is so far out of kilter that the seesaw is buried in concrete. Even biblical massacres of innocents can't shift it. So very very sad.

My daughter is 12, she has been taking piano lessons for several years now. About a year-and-a-half ago she started saying that she didn’t want to continue. Hated her lessons, didn’t like her teacher any more, etc. We of course weren’t happy about this because she was playing very well. We do believe in honouring our kids’ wishes, coupled however with the requirement that they meet their commitments: in this case, that my daughter finish that year of instruction. In the meantime we coached her on pressuring herself less and tried to support her.

Over that period, something changed. She started watching YouTube videos of pianists. She heard about the Canadian pianist, Bruce Liu, who won the Chopin piano competition last year, and started saying she wanted to be the first female Canadian to win the same competition. She started practicing all the time, and we got her a new piano, an upright instead of an electronic one. She is still working hard like this.

I don’t know why or how this happened, but I am glad it turned out this way. On the flip side, she also used to take ballet, and was very good at it, but didn’t want to continue that either. Once again we insisted she finish the year, and after that she didn’t want to enrol so we let that lapse.

Parenting is a tricky balancing act!

Show HN: Numb – a tool for working with numbers, units and dates (written in Go)
Privatization in Poland was mostly selling for a fraction of price to western corporations, mostly French, German, American, some to Italians and Brits. In some cases there were local Polish intermediaries with political connections and the transaction made them into the list of richest Poles. In our case the original owners vanished with no descendants, decided for permanent emigration, or the business was originally foreign owned prewar.
I have incredibly fond memories of traveling on a Eurail pass while interning in Germany. I’d work Mon-Fri, leaving a little early on Friday to catch a train somewhere to have dinner in a new place, then usually an overnight train (aka free hostel), spend a weekend someplace (sometimes with a hostel, sometimes using another train), then take an overnight train back directly into work (where we had showers).
this reminds me of a book "monsters and magical sticks, there's no such thing as hypnosis?".

Which to my memory seemed to suggest hypnosis, and the states of altered consciousness associated with it, as people being affected by good storytelling. (don't think this was explicitly stated as such, but it the biggest takeaway I recall)

I suspect the social persuasion take here can be interpreted in a similar way; We are telling a story in concert with the people around us, and in that exploration of a narrative we assume roles that affect our perception. Or at least our own telling of this perception, which in turn may have effect on our retelling of it (both in terms of the rationalization we're doing internally, and in how we anchor the memories of what happened)

Going by that also, the knock-on is that regardless of whether it was "real" we will live our lives after based on our recollection of it, and assume in a sense that it was "real". Meaning that the results are more or less equivalent of it being real.

> I've also run into similar patterns on Discord and similar platforms; "Oops! Something suspicious is happening with the account [you literally just created]. Please add a phone number to your profile to proceed."

This happened to me the other day, but for an account which is years old, owns a server with 1200+ members, and... is already logged into Discord on another web browser.

I usually use Firefox for chatting, and Chrome for voice chat (since it works better than FF for that). So I usually have FF permanently open, and I log into Discord through Chrome from time to time to voice chat. So this one time I open up Chrome (while, again, I'm simultaneously logged in through FF and can fully use my account), try to log in, and... I get a "verification required" screen.

They allegedly think I'm an abusive user so they're preventing me from logging in into Discord without verifying my account, but they're simultaneously letting me fully use my account? How does this make any sense? Any abuse I can do I can already do because I'm already logged in, from exactly the same computer.

I wrote to their support asking what's up with this, and they basically told me they don't care, and that I will be required to verify. Of course they won't tell you why they're doing it, because "security".

I regularly receive crypto scam DMs on Discord and they're seemingly unable to block those kinds of accounts, but they sure as hell are good at bullying legitimate users like me.

Don't bother with leetcode. I recommend you get the minimal knowledge required and start building the MVP right away. That way you will have the motivation to learn.

1. choose a popular language, and familiarize yourself with the basics so you can at least read simple code

2. choose a web framework (assuming you want to build a web app), and watch/read a tutorial that uses that framework to build a web app

3. start building the MVP and search stackoverflow for everything you want to do

> EDIT (i put it here since i already got three replies on the same thing): i understand that you can mix two different files with different "editions" but it still makes it hard to update these files themselves.

It does not, though? You have to update the entire file (really crate) at once, but that’s really not much of a challenge as it’s near exclusively syntactic, and syntactic changes are easy to make, just fix compiler errors.

I feel like you didn’t go through the Python migration yourself and just go off of the echoes you got from it, but the issues in the Python migration were not “updating code is hard”. It was really the easiest part, and could mostly be done mechanically (which incidentally `cargo fix` provides for when migrating between editions).

The challenges of the Python migration was:

- You had to wait for all your dependencies to be updated before you could migrate yourself, commonly this was mixed with API updates while at it especially at the start, this is not an issue in Rust because there is no dependency between crate editions, I can use edition 2018 and depend simultanously on edition 2015 and edition 2021 crates.

- Many changes were semantic in nature, there was no way to check them statically, instead they were runtime changes (in types or behaviour), which made ensuring they were correct a lot more challenging; editions do not cover or allow for this.

The Python migration wilfully included fixes to long-standing semantics issues of the language (though whether all were improvements, or whether they went far enough remains a matter of debate), and this as well as the incompatibility are what made it an issue.

If it had been entirely syntactic and a per-package or per-file thing it would have been much less of an issue (not an entirely non-issue as things like library contents are a runtime concern in python, but still…). And that’s what rust editions are.

I see no mechanism by which those laws would reduce mass shootings. A mass shooter would simply ignore them.

If the guns are illegal, they aren't as easy to get. They aren't in everyone's home. If you break in somewhere to steal a gun, you'll not get a handgun. You know, because most folks aren't willing to hold onto an illegal gun. You aren't going to go to a gun show and buy an illegal gun because those folks don't want the shows shut down.

Which does mean that you'll have to go to the black market. The thing about the black market: If something is harder to come by, you'll be charged more. Same if the penalty is higher. You could see this in the drug market: LSD was generally more expensive than weed. (Still probably is, but I really don't know how pot legalisation has affected black market prices).

If guns are harder to get, there is less chance that a mass shooter will be able to get one. Could it mean that they use other means?

Sure they could. But realistically, those options don't always have the same effect. You could build a bomb, maybe. If you can get the supplies and knowledge to do it. Most options available to the average person, though, aren't going to be as deadly as guns and in general, won't kill so many people in such a short span of time and so many simply aren't as lethal.

In this, it is much like suicides. When gun laws are more strict, fewer people choose guns for a suicide. They choose different methods, though, and most of these are less lethal - which overall means that death by suicide goes down.

For a decent comparison, check Australia, which used to have a similar gun culture.
“What is a healthy amount of pushing vs too much?” Is a great question.

Some friends and I had fairly negative experiences with childhood activities (for me sports, for them music). However, as we reflect on them as adults we are quite happy that we were pushed into uncomfortable scenarios and “forced” to learn life long skills. Indeed, some of my friends argue that they wish they were pushed a bit harder.

All that being said, the amount of “pushing” my friends and I experienced does not seem be irregular (like in the article). It does lead me to believe there is some “okay” amount of pushing. Does anyone have perspective on where they draw the line?

You're taking random numbers pulled out of your ass for a fully hypothetically situation which you've made up. Can I make my numbers up too, or can we have a productive discussion about some actual solutions rather than "he might shoot me I saw it in FBI reports"

Here's the reality of things:

- 3 out of 4 burglaries happen with no-one home

- 7% of that remaining 25% show "a form of violence". It doesn't mean shooting. Even a fistfight counts in there. So, 1.75% of burglaries happen with violence. This is even lower in countries which have already regulated guns.

- There are approximately ZERO burglars that want a confrontation when stealing from you. It is infinitely more trouble than it is worth to be caught. Even if they know they will win a fight. A fight means noise, it means being potentially seen, caught, etc. Burglars will abandon ship the moment anyone is up. Once again, gun ownership makes the likelihood of things getting violent much higher. If you know you can easily run away, you don't come armed. If you know you can get shot, you come in armed and ready to shoot

I'll speak up for Perl. I learntbit voluntarily in my own spare time and actually get a lot of delight out of the language. I like that it is very unrestrictive. The sigils make sense when you wrap your mind around them and you miss them in other languages. It is excellent at parsing text.

I wrote a static site builder using Perl along with a very rudimentary templating system (https://soft.thran.uk for the curious). I've also found it very convenient for any sort of data shunting I find myself doing, it can easily manipulate and convert XLS, Json, other formats I encounter in my work.

I hope it doesn't go away. There's a mindset to Perl that clicks with me and just isn't present in many other languages.

Philips dropped the ball in sleep apnea machine recall
I found a compiler bug once, about 30 years ago. It took nearly a year. This was Lisp code (the T 3.1 compiler to be exact) that ran on an embedded system to control a robot. It was a 680x0 processor running vxWorks. The robot also had an arm (i.e. a robot arm, not an ARM processor - those didn't exist yet). The symptom was an intermittent crash that happened only when the arm was moving. Forensic analysis revealed a badly corrupted heap, so the actual bug was well upstream of the crash.

The problem turned out to be a confluence of two circumstances. First there was the compiler bug, which inverted the order of two instructions when popping values off the stack. It decremented the stack pointer and then pulled a now-unprotected value off the stack into a register. Second, vxWorks did not have a dedicated stack for the operating system, so when an interrupt happened it would be processed using the same stack as the process being interrupted. When an interrupt happened right on the boundary between those two mis-ordered instructions, it would overwrite the temporarily unprotected value still sitting on the stack above the stack pointer.

It took us several months to find a way to reliably reproduce the problem, and another couple of months of single-stepping through machine code to finally figure it all out. Good times.
One benefit of lower bandwidth is you have the possibility of reducing the glass-to-glass latency, since network queues will be less crowded.

But with this you have the downside of more milliseconds spent compressing and decompressing the frames.

Same here, an unambiguous 404. Thanks for the Archive link, I was curious about Kaibeezy’s reference to Culture ships.

Now, as I write this you posted 1 hour ago, and the story submission was 3 hours ago, therefore the file would have been taken down during that two hour window.
Curiously, buro9’s comment, which seems to imply that they did look at the document, was 38 minutes ago. Maybe they took a while to read it, and commented some time later? That would put the take-down time to not long before you first reported the 404, assuming buro9 took around half an hour to look at it before commenting.

I doubt they got such an increase in requests that they noticed and somehow decided to take it down.

Does anyone have an idea what could have happened here?
It’s simply flag planting. If they don’t do it, some other player will.
Exactly this. People forget that the point of the metaphor is that debt is a tool you use to grow faster.

Mortgage debt (e.g. no UI tests on the front-end) is quite safe and you can kick the can down the road.
