It kind of depends on what you consider a fact.

Scientifically, nuclear waste disposal is very much solvable problem.

Politically, expect to spend billions upon billions and then have things like Yucca Mountain canned after lots of construction.

Before the specific language can be agreed on, having a sense of what the distinct phenomena are.

I do agree that present usage is often vague and similar terms are used to describe wildly different applications.

"Residential" or "end-use" vs. "regional" or "grid scale" are among the differentiators I'm familiar with.

Marketing is another driver of much confusion, as selling a ground-loop heat pump sounds much more impressive when described as "geothermal heat pump". The latter is ... stretching definitions at the least, if not openly misleading.

In my high school, we had teletypes akin to these for FORTRAN classes, and actual IBM keypunch machines for COBOL.

Things got so bad in 1930s Germany that Hitler justified the killing of lawbreakers, Jews, Gypsies and other groups with an idea that they had a criminal biology. They believed that their hereditary factors could predict criminology. Of course there was no truth to that, but Nazi germany ate it up anyway.

Kinda sounds familiar, huh.
Not sure about zrepl, but sanoid/syncoid will keep a separate snapshot for each replication target that has a lifetime separate from your usual expiration policy. So say you setup sanoid to keep 24 "hourly" snapshots, but the initial replication w/ syncoid takes 36 hours. You'd be left with a "@syncoid_HOSTNAME_ISO8601" snapshot, a 12 hour gap, followed by your 24 hourly snapshots. So that snapshot will hold that 12 hours worth of block churn, to allow for incremental sends, until your ISP is able to catch up.

The other option, if you're colocating, is to send a seed drive ahead to the datacenter. (I think there was a startup on here a while back where they'd basically colo your drives in their own JBODs, and then charge you a nominal monthly fee for a VPS w/ those drives passed through as a zpool.) You might pay some nominal fee for remote hands, but it beats waiting for terabytes of data to squeeze through your local cableco's wildly asymmetric pipe.

I half agree here. Especially in Python applications, so often you so a class that is instantiated only once. I'm not sure if this is overly usage of OOP or DRY, but defining a whole class just to be instantiated once seems like a very verbose abstraction to me. There's nothing wrong with a few functions to group code together and leave it at that.

Love the random direction choosing: it's good to choose to see/experience difference.

Even just passing down the other side of the street / coming at the same one from the opposite direction you experience such different things …

How I do it: if I feel a "pull" toward a certain direction (often due to familiarity / urge to 'get back'), I'll go the another direction … just to show the subconscious who's boss.

You can if you have reasonably competent colleagues. And if you do make some wrong assumptions about what a certain method does, it should be caught by your tests.

I feel that people that insist on reading and understanding all the code, and write code that has to be read fully to be possible to understand what is does, have missed something quite fundamental about software development.

How many old iphone games are just completely lost now because it's a closed system?
Yes, I was doing that at some point. But then the problem is that

- I work (or rather workED until a month ago) on LSP implementation for C++ (clangd) and I frequently need updates in the client
- The client (Neovim LSP client) is being developed quite rapidly

For the reasons above, I did update the LSP plugins and Neovim versions quite a lot. And (in my experience) that is the thing that breaks the most over the past 2-3 years. Everything else is kind of OK, but it doesn't make much sense without the LSP. I could update only some plugins and keep the others at a fixed version, but then overall I'm not getting bug fixes & features which makes me kind of sad (that's why I started building my ultimate (Neo)vim setup in the first place).

I guess I should really stick to just a couple of basic plugins and throw everything else out.

Money Russia gets from nuclear poewr production are miniscule comparing to money from gas/oil export. _any_ expansion of nuclear energy in Europe is against Russian agenda to be major gas/oil provider. Geramany suppose to be broker of that.

For Germany cheap Nuclear energy on central/east Europe is dangerous because cheap energy = more competitive market. Add cheaper workforce and you have very dangerous mix. Read why Bulgaria was forced to shut down majority of their reactors before joining EU. Offically it was about "security". Bulgaria with cheap nuclear energy from already built power plants and cheap workforce was too "dangerous" for old EU countries. Politics is very important when discussing energy market.
> The economies are too intertwined for either US or China to deploy their forces full-scale.

This was was a common belief about Europe before World War One. Unfortunately, that didn't prevent the carnage.

I tend to agree with you about the existential danger of full-scale confrontation. And to be fair, your concerns about these weapon systems are well founded. These things are really dangerous and we need to think very carefully about how they're developed and deployed.

But as we see in Ukraine, there's a lot of scope for limited confrontation. In this case we'll want access to deadlier weapons than our enemies have access to.

To those of us that believe in liberal democracy, this isn't just about one team vs another. This really is about living in a world where freedom is the norm rather than living in fear of an autocrat.
Wikipedia’s Deep Ties to Big Tech
Well no, we have plenty of data that shows in reality, nuclear is the safest (lowest deaths per TWh generated [1]), among the lowest-carbon intensity (lower than solar, higher than wind) [2] and with seawater extraction has the potential of being renewable.

Waste disposal is a solved problem: you put the spicy rocks back where they came from.

So-called environmentalists are advocating removing this capacity without accounting for the fact its replacement will be coal, oil and gas.

Man, did this resonate with me: some of my some of my best ideas, my most profound revelations have occurred while strolling and allowing myself to be swept up with what's happening around me. It doesn't happen with driving, and happens less with cycling. You must be on-foot.

I'd encourage anyone reading this who hasn't before/in a while: make some time where you have no time constraint, and go stroll.

Leave your watch, your phone. Wander past the point of feeling like "I should go back now" or "I want to go work on that thing." Don't suppress the thoughts of things you should be doing … but allow your curiosity to be tickled by whatever's around; follow it.
In a word, corruption.

The US has fully legalized corruption, from the top, so no one at management level can be indicted for indulging in it, although they may be punished administratively for blocking it.

Now, public works projects are obliged to devote the majority of project funding to buying off gatekeepers with long-term revenue channels that, because they will dry up when the project is complete, promote delays and frequent, expensive (for us), and lucrative (for them) scope changes.

In some countries, corruption is commonly a retail affair. In the US, its privileges are more jealously held at the top. The US is now among the top five most corrupt states. In China and Russia, corruption is still technically illegal, just so that underlings may be threatened with prosecution for that if they step out of line. The US system is more streamlined; we know it suffices to fire most nuisances, reserving imprisonment for anyone exposing crime.

Those fired improperly may sue, but the government or insurance pays, so that is OK.
Yes lol. You can share your AES key physically and write/edit an application that encrypts with that. You could share one time pads, or other preshared secrets for techniques like winnowing and chaffing and whatnot. Always amusing that these guys always opt for trust in some bizarre app.

I don't really have an opinion but was curious. Official stats from 2018 [1] tell me the average sentencing for sexual abuse was 191 months (15 years, 11 months).

Her sentencing is 25.6% longer than the U.S. mean for sexual abuse in 2018. I'm not familiar with the standard deviation for this stat (it could be a 3 sigma event for all I know).

I still don't have an opinion, but it's a good stat to know.

The useful thing with game theory, is we can go the other way to work out what's likely to encourage cooperation.

Well, I hope we can at lest, because the more tech we get, the harder it hurts when someone decides to defect.
Not sure if running an instance of web browser for each little desktop application is THE solution. I personally prefer Python ant TKinter. Yes, it looks ugly, but applications are small and use same runtime. For web developers I might even suggest trying GJS (GTK bindings with JS).

>I don't understand the purpose of this semantics discussion

>Whether you want to call it a sound server or not is irrelevant since it fulfilled the same role and had the same features as other sound servers of the era.

This is not semantics from me, you are trying to say the phrase "sound server" doesn't mean anything, or it actually means "servers but also plugins". No, that's not true. It has specific meaning. You are limited as to what you can do in an alsa plugin. It is not the same as having a daemon running.

If you are saying from the perspective of the ALSA API, the interface is the same as dmix, that is true. Those sound servers have just provided their own pcm. If you want to use this to say "I don't care as an application developer if it's a plugin or a sound server" then that should also show you that the approach of dmix is not all that great or important.

>The point was that Pipewire didn't follow this Pulseaudio-specific design

And I will say again that what Wim actually did was intentionally choose a design that could easily be used to implement a Pulseaudio-specific design on top of it. That is why pipewire-pulse is able to work. You can ask him about this yourself, I would rather not go back and forth with this hearsay.

>Unless you are going to claim that gstreamer itself is "most programs"

You have missed the point of that part though. Transitively it may very well be "most programs" if you use a lot of media apps, because those apps will use gstreamer which then uses pulseaudio underneath. Anyway I think it is pointless for you and I to keep harping on this one person's opinion, because that's all it is. An opinion on a blog. This is really not worth getting worked up over.

>Everyone (including Lennart) _still_ recommends you target the ALSA API directly.

He can recommend that all he wants. As you have found out, in open source that doesn't stop people from using the API. They will use whatever they want, for better or worse, irrespective of whether it will complicate the mess or not. Actually I would say all of open source is just a big complicated mess that will never reduce as long as it keeps growing.

>If only stuff like gst had used the PA API, PW could have just shipped a gst module

They did do that, this is not enough to call it a day though because it would not ensure binary compatibility with old gstreamer builds that don't have the new module. Also that is only one library, it doesn't count all the other libraries that fall underneath this category that may not support modules. The suggestions you are making are either not realistic or are hypotheticals based on hindsight. Of course, had anyone known all these issues years ago, they might have made OSS the perfect API at exactly the right time and then there would be no fragmentation. But the ship has sailed on that.
A couple of points:

1. We doesn't have to be another country/military. It could just be another research lab in US, China, or anywhere else in the world. Some people just like pushing tech to the limits, they seek the next hardest problem. The hardest problem post robust drone controls/motion planning era (e.g. drones like DJI) is to make them pure vision based.

2. Millions/Billions? Lol what are you even talking about. It takes about 100k to fund a graduate student for one year. I wouldn't be surprised if this entire research work was less than 1 million, maybe even 500k.

>1. If a large number of people are off-grid or effectively off-grid then the cost of consumer will have to decrease until it's comparable with the total cost (capital and maintenance) of private solar and battery.

I don't think this is how it works. As the OP said, costs is costs. If a fossil fuel fired plant cost $X to build and run, you can't just hand-wave those costs away in the vein of competition. The costs will be passed on to the consumer.

Those privileged enough to have the option to build solar/battery can extract themselves from that market, but there will still be some left on the grid who will have to bear that cost. For example, renters and those too poor to afford the costs of solar will likely be stuck paying increased costs as the consumer base shrinks.
The field is new yes but before covid the recent graduate with even 1 year of experience were so good compared to now. The real problem is that with remote work you can't really learn something if you're a fresh graduate. I had my worst interns during the last two years, and I don't think that they were stupid. The real problem is that they can't really learn in remote when I don't have the time to teach them. When we were in the office they would jsut follow in every meeting, pair coding and so on. I love remote work, for me it's a bless, I exploit wvery single minute of my day working, but for interns and juniors is a nightmare they are not going to learn anything from me or from others.
It's fraud and nephew-hiring in the USA. 25 years ago in Germany there was an automated tram/light rail line with no conductor.

The train ran on its own rails, separate from roads for cars, and was run even late at night. Since it was automated, a loop run every hour late at night was possible for stragglers/night shift workers to use.

This would never happen in the USA since there is no union hiring if the tram is automated. Since hiring conductors late at night is expensive you get reduced hours. Etc etc.
I wonder how this will change in the future.

Why was Sunny found guilty of patient fraud, where Elizabeth wasn't? Likely because:

> At Balwani’s trial, his lawyers said that Holmes was in charge of the company. But prosecutors pointed to a text message from Balwani to Holmes — which read “I am responsible for everything at Theranos” — as evidence that he also played a role. [1]

> The panel also heard from a laboratory director, regulator and patient who didn’t testify against Holmes. That testimony was aimed at underscoring his familiarity with the failed blood tests. [2]

> “Balwani ran the lab for a time and was just as involved as Holmes in management,” said Andrey Spektor, a criminal defense lawyer not involved in the case. “To some extent, the government had a stronger case against him.” [2]

The jury seemed to believe that he was more hands-on with the laboratory work.
