A article reiterating a press release from a company that doesn't have a prototype is not exactly a good source.

And at any rate, the article claims that

> The small size and large surface area-to-volume ratio of NuScale’s reactor core, that sits below ground in a super seismic-resistant heat sink, allows natural processes to cool it indefinitely in the case of complete power blackout.

Of course, the surface that allows efficient cooling here is the same surface that allows neutrons to escape, so my hunch is that it has poor neutron economy. (And of course, heat escaping through it will not turn turbines.)

> 2) refueling of this reactor does not require the nuclear plant to shut down.

That is very nice when you're trying to breed plutonium, the natural uranium fuel assemblies only have to irradiated a few weeks and then you would already need to shut the reactor down. When you can switch during operation, than there's less downtime.

So in total I guess it's a pretty inefficient reactor that's perhaps a nice addition to your weapons program.

Disclaimer: I'm of course one of the anti-nuclear types HN always tells me are only anti-nuclear because we don't understand these things.
The average user will always choose ease of use over strict security. Having to maintain your key files is asking a lot of people who can't even be bothered to use different passwords. Then what happens if their laptop dies and they lose their private key?

Something low friction, like Sign in with google/Facebook/github whatever, where somebody else manages your identity for you, is going to be much lower friction.
I used to really enjoy floppotron-style stepper motor music while in the coding zone. As a musician I sometimes get distracted by voices of different instruments, so the stepper motors give a nice homogeneous tone.

Unfortunately, I can rarely listen to anything with both ears anymore (always listening for either phone calls at work all day or child cries at home at night). I just play whatever through one headphone but the opportunities for interruption make it a lot more difficult to get in the zone.

These frontend tooling threads devolve quickly.
To play the fun game of charitability, that engineer could have been talking about sort stability. Which could technically violate the property you want.

A quick search however does say that Java's .sort() is stable.

I also have no issues listening to music with vocals while programming. I even know people who listen to podcasts, though that is way too far for me.
Yeah maybe nerd was the wrong term, but he was definitely perceived as being wimpy, even by people outside of the gang.
It varies from year to year. The traditional seasonal flu intramuscular contains 4 different variants it targets, and sometimes the predictions of which sequences to include are wrong. In those years you see sub 50% vaccine efficiencies against infection. Vaccine efficiency versus hospitalization is much better.

But the same situation re: igG humoral antibodies from intramuscular vaccination not getting in your nose/throat/etc mucosa apply to flu vaccines. Most people only get intramuscularly vaccinated and so get upper respiratory flu infections and spread but are mostly asymptomatic and unaware. Actual vaccine efficiency for flu intramusculars is probably lower than reported due to the asymptomatic cases.

I personally alternate between intramuscular flu vaccines and the Flu Mist intranasal flu vaccine (which you can get by request).
I won't give money to social media platforms.

I won't participate in social media unless I get paid to do so.

Or teach your kids how to avoid the predators, since predators will always be around.

I don't agree that the best course of action is to shield your children from every negative consequence of the world. But I guess I shouldn't be speaking as someone who doesn't have a kid. (We've been trying, and hopefully IVF will work.)

But I do have a lot of second-hand experience with nieces and family friends. Maturity level varies dramatically between kids, and it seems like a mistake to take a one-size-fits-all "Internet is scary" approach to parenting.

Kids will find a way to hang out with their friends. If you get in the way of it, you'll quickly find yourself on the losing end of a years-long battle.
For coding background music I can do instrumental music or I can do vocal music that I know very well, to the point where I don't actually have to process the words. But I can't do vocal music that I don't know well, because then my brain tries to process the words.
As usual, when someone is trying to show how certain code idioms are bad (or good in some cases), the entire example is bad which makes it hard to even care about the entire point of the article.

As some have pointed out - make_pizza shouldn't be anywhere in the code. There should be a mongo collection or rel table that has a bunch of typical pizzas and a way to make custom ordered pizzas, typically through a UI.

The more complicated thing is the data structure that represents any pizza (like 50/50, 10/90, 10/80/10, toppings per section, etc...)

And a mongo collection for "typical" pizzas would fit that pretty well. And beyond that custom ordered pizzas.

All that being said even the above is over engineered. Typically this over-engineering is a result of allowing end-users to create a pizza. I'm super old school and still call in my orders on the phone. The difference being that end-user UIs that let you make a pizza need to be over-engineered while call in orders is just a bunch of notes and a total "additional toppings" count.
You're probably thinking of the big story from January of this year:

https://www.pcmag.com/news/nordvpn-actually-we-do-comply-wit...

NordVPN says they don't collect logs, but then it came out that they send information to law enforcement. So the big question is what information is being sent to law enforcement. Despite what NordVPN maintains, it seems like they do keep incriminating data about their users.
Something I have come to feel myself but haven't found a good way to articulate is asking "is what I am doing favoring authorship over maintenance?". I find that a lot of times the way DRY or other programming principles are used tend to be done to optimize authorship. This optimization sometimes happens at the expense of maintainability.

Anticipating maintenance is tricky; I had a scenario where a developer on my team created a utility function to abstract away some code that was being repeated multiple times in the same file. As an author that made sense because he was writing the same code over and over again, but down the line when we wanted a specific instance of this copied code to work in a slightly different way we ended up making the utility function handle the edge case.

Over time this utility became extremely hard to work with, because you weren't always sure if you made a change it wouldn't create a regression in other places it was used.

When we sat down and asked ourselves "Is this utility assisting in authorship at the expense of maintenance", the answer was clear. We removed it and put back the repetitive code. We felt good about it because in reality, 90% of the time we were interacting with this code we were doing it in maintenance mode, tweaks and small updates. When in maintenance mode I don't feel the strain of a specific part of my code being repeated, I'm only looking at a small subset of the code. Sure, if I need to author a new case in this code it might be a bit more wordy, but I think the tradeoff is worth it.

I am sure there are perhaps better ways to abstract things, or that we were doing DRY wrong, and our utility function could have been smarter, but I've seen this same thing play out over and over again and usually trying to make my abstraction better hasn't helped.
Do you have the source where you heard that? Also worth noting that Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island were all built 50-60 years ago.

Google Docs and Drive solve those issues well enough for a lot of use cases and don't require the command line, much less Git.

I think, for the general non-IT crowd, exposing them to those systems is likely to cause more harm than good. Even most dev types struggle with using git effectively...
Ask HN: Podcasts on how to make friends and become more sociable?
I was always rather introverted than extroverted. The Corona years have increased this tendency even more. Time to move the steering wheel of my life a bit into the direction of other people!

Since I really love to learn by listening to podcasts: Are there any good podcasts about how to make friends and become more sociable?
Yeah this is a big issue that is super annoying to fix on latest Ubuntu.

That said if you can get it working the api is very simple but you can do a lot of things with it.

I created a LSTM network to predict your next move in rocker, paper, scissors in very little code.
HN: What would you like to change about the way you consume news?
or else what should news providers change in the way they publish news ?
I think the distinction here is that this data could be used as evidence if they already have a suspect. In that case it's much easier to get you to turn over your phone and usernames and activity and testimony, etc.

But I think the risk of people being "caught" with this data is absolutely minimal.

> I'm honestly not sure the cost will matter much when we're talking about an ideological crusade like this.

Okay, but even in like the darkest days of prohibition when the federal government had a literal mandate to round up every person in the US for illegal drinking, not even a fraction of a percent of the obviously guilty population was even charged with a crime. At a certain point, laws themselves are a legal fiction if they are unenforceable and police will only ever focus on a few high profile cases. So I guess I am cynical myself, but also trying to be rational here.
Wow, Roblox has text/voice chat! I've worked on a comment system before, it's basically impossible to block bad behavior using filters, AI, whatever, users find a loophole and continue with the behavior. Mods are super needed.
Text/voice chat + real money. It's a pedophile's paradise.
First, they lied to us - I paid a high initial price, it was supposed to be followed by a decreasing in time 3 or 4 annual payments, but they completely changed their pricing, and now they charge every year and now - they are even increasing the price! Given that I don't use their IDEs but agreed to get the promised lifetime license just in case, it's time to stop paying for something that I'm not using!
I recently got Covid. My original vaccine was in April 2021, shot #2 in May 2021, and booster in December 2021. It really knocked me out for a solid week + persistent symptoms and very annoying cough for another two weeks. I would happily take another booster shot but apparently I'm not eligible yet (in California). Shame to hear that some doses are being thrown away - I'd take a shot every other month if it would prevent me from getting Covid again.
In all of Connecticut, less than 3,000 of the ~166k children under five have gotten vaccinated so far. Which is pretty crazy, given that Connecticut was consistently among the top three most vaccinated states, at least until the Omicron wave.
Remember these vaccines are more intended to reduce the severity of the virus.
Not really similar. The point of flâner is to let your mind go free, it is a relaxing experience that I could only compare to a massage. You just let everything go and just wander around, get lost in your thoughts, sometimes an external element cat he's your senses but it is purely curiosity and not really focus demanding. You are not exploring. You could do it in an IKEA for all that matters.

Going off trail trekking requires attention and focus, even if not constant. You can't just look at the sky and think about nothing if you risk fouling your ankle at every step or fall into a hole!

Off trail trekking is maybe more similar to coding something completely new. It's exciting, you experiment with different things, read bit here and there, and very satisfying, but also tiring. If I go flâner I will be less tired when I end than when I start.
100k users (who opt in to data collection), well done.

The word you're thinking of is remarketing.
People, including elites in Putin’s inner circle, perceived as insufficiently loyal to Putin have experienced a rash of widely reported “murder-suicides” of their entire families, and others who have avoided that fate have experienced, other very public, severe adverse consequences.

This, along with Russia’s notoriously pervasive secret police and domestic surveillance may have something to do why even “anonymous” polling of Russia finds fairly small numbers of people willing to say they don't support the regime wholeheartedly, independent of actual sentiment.

Once I started building a GUI wrapper that could either use SWT or AWT as backend (or perhaps Swing rather than AWT, i do not remember).

I do not remember why. Perhaps I thought it will be more portable or performant.

But I quickly abandoned that (would not want to get stuck on a legacy tech like java and awt) and ported all my projects to Pascal for maximal performance.
You are severely overestimating peoples desire to have something strapped to their face all day. And no, not "everything" will go this way. People in tech want it to go this way, but when you step outside the tech bubble, most people have no real uses for VR/AR outside of entertainment, which even then, isn't guaranteed to dominate that specific use case vs an unknown future innovation.

Neither myself, nor anybody else, has truly accurate insights into how humans will interact with tech in 100 years. Predicting the future is damn near impossible. I agree we probably will not be using the smartphone form, but I disagree that it will be replaced with something sprung from the current iterations of AR/VR. Again, id bet money on the adoption being similar to 3D TVs. Cool tech, not practical for mass adoption.

Hello Jason,

Are these openings only for US citizens?
Many of the claims made by the anti-nuclear ground directly contradict established science.
The wiki says it was replaced by a tool that kicks on for everyone under 13 that only lets them use words from a very specific whitelist.

If they don't do this already they need to divide the player bases. Want to play in the <13 rooms? You have to use the same word whitelist they have.
I will admit this is very tempting.

Often it's because of non-deterministic text semantics, that only make sense after you know what the error is, never before it.

Anyway, some times this is unavoidable.
Maybe, but SPOT is a more memorable acronym than SPOK (or whatever). It allows you to talk about the “SPOTs” where stuff is defined.

One could also use “SPOTify X” to mean “reducing X to a SPOT”. :)
I wouldn't let children on twitter, and as a child, I really couldn't have cared less about Lego's marketing officers twitter follow list. Is the expectation here that any public facing representative of a company that mainly targets children must lead a pegi 3 life? I don't particularly enjoy defending corporate entities here, but unless their twitter handle was supposed to be used in official capacity for Roblox, who should give a shit?

And again, unless the person in question shared smut with children, how would this be relevant to pedophilia? I am also not arguing that this is the wisest move on the part of the exec in question, it looks stupid, but there should be nothing indictable about this.

Ultimately, this is an article about exposing how a corporation through negligence at best and malicious intent is empowering child abusers to abuse children, why go the Jess extra effort and try and make these people look worse by pointing out that these people like porn?
Meshtastic seems to be the most widespread one so far.

It's not attached to their most toxic brand so more people will be willing to put up with it, instead of shunning their (excellent) devices due to the toxicity of the brand.

How exactly does this address the privacy concerns underlying the previous model? They still require me to have a “social” profile. I never agreed to that when I bought my Oculus Rift back in 2016. In effect, my Rift remains bricked unless I agree to have a presence in their dystopian Metaverse. No thank you!
There’s plenty of that stuff. Jabber and XMPP. And also more up to date is Matrix.org which nobody seems to want to use and I’m not sure why.

The problem though is that you’re still trusting the code. Nothing stops self hosted from rotting on you unless you look and read the code yourself.
Except it's impossible to safely scale down nuclear to domestic/community/small-town level.

Instead renewables and especially solar as well as batteries and geothermal heat storage scale down very well and can build resilient networks.

Can't you play games without the store? Like streaming games from your PC or side loading games. You shouldn't need an account if you're not going to use the store.
I hope you’ll chat with a few friends about why you decided to write this to the few remaining stragglers.

I should do the same though I know why I’m a mess :)

Your response is heartfelt. It misconstrues the point many were making. None of us know the details of your fertility. We don’t know anything more about you than what you say. The points about your fertility were about its perception not about its reality. You seem like the sort of person who tries to avoid making quick judgments based on stereotypes. Most aren’t like that.

But it isn't a competition between technology. It is a competition between industrial-societal complexes that include supply chains, resources, training, politics and a large number of flawed human beings. Having the best technology isn't enough. The human infrastructure behind is what wins. And in that respect the renewables/battery complex is just more successful. We may well be able to scale up storage to support renewables more quickly than nuclear new build.
Because he controls the media. There have also been very persistent protests against the war. Russians in a position to speak freely often criticise it. That's not true for the majority of Russians, however.
Why is it so horrible for a public persona to acknowledge a part of their life that isn't all that extraordinary?
Also, a significant number of doses are thrown away in the US because they still come in 5-dose vials. Just shipping single dose would prevent a lot of scenarios where giving one person a booster means throwing away the other four doses in the vial.
