Well, let's take a look at France: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/18/business/france-nuclear-p...

> As the European Union moves to cut ties to Russian oil and gas in the wake of Moscow’s war on Ukraine, France has been betting on its nuclear plants to weather a looming energy crunch. Nuclear power provides about 70 percent of France’s electricity, a bigger share than any other country in the world. But the industry has tumbled into an unprecedented power crisis as EDF confronts troubles ranging from the mysterious emergence of stress corrosion inside nuclear plants to a hotter climate that is making it harder to cool the aging reactors. The outages at EDF, Europe’s biggest electricity exporter, have sent France’s nuclear power output tumbling to its lowest level in nearly 30 years, pushing French electric bills to record highs just as the war in Ukraine is stoking broader inflation. Instead of pumping vast amounts of electricity to Britain, Italy and other European countries pivoting from Russian oil, France faces the unsettling prospect of initiating rolling blackouts this winter and having to import power.

Nuclear power is so good that France might have to import energy from German coal power plans next winter to avoid large scale blackouts.
I'd be surprised if any appreciable number of websites could be considered "closed source". HTML and JS are quite hard to close off, being interpreted. WASM is a binary format, I guess, but that's still just a tiny tiny fraction of sites. Server-side stuff could be closed, but for most money-making sites the secret sauce is what's in the database rather than the code that shows it to you.
Sure if your use case for go wasm is ads crap knock yourself out.

That is indeed absolutely what they said, and if that's not what you heard, then you didn't hear everything they said, or you heard it through a not-great source.

> They said that the masks wouldn't work for us plebes

However, that is a different point altogether, and yes that was also a consideration. You could rephrase it more intelligently, however: there was a very valid concern that masks could be misused by the public, which could both 1) undermine their effectiveness (in which case that's an even better reason to prioritize hospitals and other frontline workers, where we know they will have max impact), and 2) create a false sense of security (on which there is a ton of scholarly literature).

> But it also meant a major loss of trust on every following thing they said

Sure, but only for people with very poor reading comprehension, or perhaps with language barriers.

There is plenty of other manipulation, like constructing ponzi schemes that require BTC/ETH to get into, or "stable coins" backed by other crypto, or selling "art" like NFTs.

These all sooner or later crash down, and bring the value of ETH and BTC down with them. Already billions of dollars have left the crypto space, and are unlikely to ever come back.

It of course isn't impossible that BTC will bounce back, but there is also no guarantee of it. Perhaps Gamestop will bounce back as well, or the Venezuelan Dollar.
I just tried searching for "python str" on Google. I expected the top result to be a link to the official Python docs for the `str` type, then ideally some relevant StackOverflow questions highlighting common Python issues with strings, bytes, Unicode etc.

Instead, the top result was W3Schools. Then came the Python docs, then 5 pages somewhere between blogspam and poor-quality tutorials. Then a ReadTheDocs page dating to 2015. And that was it. No more official Python resources, no StackOverflow. In the middle of the results some worthless "Google Q&A" dropdowns that lead to more garbage quality content.

So for this query, using my definition of "garbage", the "garbage percentage" is somewhere between 80% and 90+%, depending on how many Q&A dropdowns you waste your time opening.
Nice !

Couple of suggestions:

- quick filter to differentiate between issues, wiki, snippets and project pages ?

- use default widgets/colours/CSS/UI (I don't know if there's on now in theming, it has been years)

- login/oauth url forces a large horizontal scrollbar

- display titles along or instead of the current shortened URL ?
I would say lot of DOS programs and games were just using cold temperature colors, so it has specific 80/90s cold feel, I think later they started to get warmer and warmer.

That wasn't my point, ads and SPA crap available almost in every "modern" site, are several MB bigger in size than Go runtime on WASM.

Ergo a a WASM Go application will be much smaller than those "modern" sites.

I bet even smaller than GMail and Google Docs.
Before covid, doctors were trying desperately to sensibilize people about the danger of the flu to no avail. It was common for flu death to not be marked as such on the death certificate.

But covid is different because it is under the spotlight and faces more scrutinity. And the disctinction as covid being the main cause, a comobidity or a unrelated pathology was never clearly made since the beginning of the pandemic.

> so, so arrogant.

Yeah, your reaction is. The whole point was to be humble and accept that you might be wrong. In particular, if well-done research contradicts your prior belief, then you "have no choice" but to consider that you might have been wrong.

It turns out that the "well-done" was not the case here, but I find it hard to think your post was in good faith.

My father passed away a few years back and I inherited all of his random cases where he'd shadowed foam for his tools. The foam and glue in the cases had largely deteriorated and was falling apart. This stuff was 20-30 years old, and while I don't think it was ever exposed to elements, it probably went through some heat and cold cycling (in a garage) I wonder what the typical life of any given cell foam is.
Like most of the western world, France permitted their nuclear capacity to rot while not making sufficient progress to secure other sources of relatively clean energy.
Germany proceeded with their "nuclear exit" in 2011. Had they gone the other way and all in on nuclear, they would be in the same situation as they are today as planning and building nuclear plants takes a lot longer than 10 years. Actually they would be way worse because instead of having 50% of electricity coming from renewables, they would still have 45% of it coming from coal, instead of 25% in 2020 (did not check the latest numbers). On top of all that, for the price they are paying to get renewables basically today, they could only get a fraction of the energy in nuclear. And if that wasn't enough, one of the largest exporters of uranium to the EU is... Russia.

I can't vouch for the specific number but the IFR with good treatment is very different from the number you get if healthcare is overwhelmed. There's a tipping point where a lot of people that normally would "just" be hospitalized won't make it, and the scary part is that it also affects the 45-60 years old.

You would also have to consider people who cannot be treated for other diseases (e.g. appendicitis), compound effects on the number of available beds due to doctors and nurses being sick, etc.

“The argument is inescapable: Studies that are underpowered for the detection of plausible effects must occasionally return non-significant results even when the research hypothesis is true – the absence of these results is evidence that something is amiss in the published record. ”

Personally, I don't see what the hubbub is about. A 409a is a standard instrument used to price options, a standard approach to a 409A valuation is the base the value of a company on its comparables, including public comparables.

If I were conducting this valuation, I haven't done this myself, but I most definitely read our 409A valuations closely. I'd imagine that the outside firm hired to conduct the analysis on Fintech would use data like:

BLOCK (down 49% in last 6 months)

PAYPAL (down 60% in last 6 months)

COINBASE (down 75% in last 6 months)

INTUIT (down 30% in last 6 months)

VISA (down 5% in last 6 months)

SHOPIFY (down 70% in last 6 months)

Everyone at these fintechs, has seen the valuation of their company drop significantly (with the exceptions of VISA in the last 6 months. It's possible that stripe's performance is closer to VISA than to SHOPIFY, but only dropping 30% is likely pretty generous given the broader market.

Anyone with options at any of these public companies is dealing with the same challenges.
Check out the discord article I posted in the original reply.

If I interpret the graphs correctly, I see:

Golang:

* baseline 20% cpu + spikes to 35% once the GC runs.

* response times of about 1ms + spikes up to 10ms.

Rust:

* baseline 12% cpu + flat, no spiking.

* response times of 20us + flat, no spiking (!).

In terms of scaling, I interpret the results in favor of Rust.

My reasoning is the more you run the GC, the bigger the penalty.

I would love it if interviews were structured in a way like it’s an actual conversation.

Unfortunately a lot of companies treat them like a pop quiz, ask everyone the same 10 questions, which are mapped to 10 selection criteria and evaluate their 10 mostly prepared responses.

Good interviewers will have a bunch of questions as prompts, but generally ask a lot of follow-ups.

I blame the STAR method mostly, the concept that you have instant recall of past experiences in a high pressure situation, indexed by the questions the company is going to ask, is absolutely crazy. I wonder if there’s been any research into “tell me about a conflict and how you resolved it” type behavioural questions and whether they are effective. Even the most dramatic of employee knows how to tone it down, rewrite/make up scenarios to pass these types of questions.
I'm a full-stack Rails dev and I have two glacially slow learning projects going on: an early-facebook clone to learn Elixir + Phoenix and a macOS timesheet app to learn Swift + SwiftUI.

Both stacks are totally great and enjoyable btw, would recommend.

When I first meet a language I usually crack open the docs and then write a single micro project, like a BFS maze solver or a knapsack problem solver or something Advent of Code-esque, just to get to know all the primitives quickly -- different kinds of variables, arrays, dicts, control flow, closures, error handling.

It needs a catastrophic fail ihre for nuclear to become deadly for the masses. Germany replaced the nuclear power plants with coal and gas based plants whose Modus operandi is deadly for the masses.

Even if you want to shutdown nuclear, Germany did it in an extremely stupid.

Not to rain on this parade, but what specifically is the target user for Centos/Rocky these days?

I've been a Linux user for more than 20 years. I absolutely saw the value of Mandrake/RedHat/Debian for years. Boring, stable. Got it. Those are important qualities.
And Centos gave a free, easy to acquire and use taste of said stability.

But today... everything is so different. I run rolling release, have a billion random services running at any time because it's a dev machine, and... nothing really ever breaks. I get kernel vulnerability patches in a couple days, vs waiting weeks for some hacked together 2.6.8294 backport.

Even if that weren't the case, between snapshotting filesystems and containerized everything, it just feels like such cautious, controlled OS software is a thing of the past.

As always, happy to be told I'm incorrect and/or hear use cases.

I think engineering a compiler is a better book.

The dragon book has a few places which are really good and then a few places which were an afterthought shoved in there later like SSA (which is really important).

We are due a new batch of compiler books. As the utility of investment in compilers has decreased we are stuck with books mostly expecting x86 to die and be replaced with potentially statically schedulable machines so a lot of time is spent on algorithms that are really really fuzzy on a modern core.

Muchnick is a still a Bible for optimizations but it's written in a bizarre pseudo-language which means many algorithms are rather inpenetrable.

JITs are not very well covered in the literature. There's a lot of subtle variations in how they design their IRs these days.

This op-ed is getting things so utterly wrong, I don‘t even know where to start.

The Energiewende (so cool he can make use of a german word, so much credibility) here in Germany is working just fine. It is a reasonable investment in our future.

The reason natural gas is a problem right now is not that we have insufficient energy. The lack of gas is problematic because it is a preliminary product used in chemical processes. This is where a looming recession might derive from.

On sustainable energy sources: I, as many other germans, receive all of my electricity from purely renewable energy sources for more than ten years now. 24/7.

On nuclear: The cost of nuclear power is wildly underestimated, especially for the generation of nuclear power plants in use right now. They are expensive both in terms of dollars and in terms of their ecological footprint.

You can still not safely eat mushrooms from the south-eastern parts of Bavaria because they are still contaminated by the Chernobyl desaster. The anti-nuclear stance is not irrational, it has strong roots in reality.
Since you're coming from a NodeJS background, you'll want to pick up an introductory textbook about C as well. Rust implicitly relies quite closely on the C machine model, and introductory books about Rust (such as "The Rust Programming Language") don't do a very good job of conveying the nitty-gritty details of that model to novice coders. This is a pretty nasty pitfall when trying to code in Rust, and it's important to address it early.

For me, I screw around building something, but then “settle in” when I write hardcore unit tests that shore up my knowledge and reinforce my understanding of the language or framework.

Until I do that, and I mean truly do that, I am prone to all sorts of surprises when running my code and have little confidence.

Most recently I’ve done this with fp-ts (a functional programming library for typescript) and a wrapper around hledger (a plain text accounting app). Because the later is Haskell, I figured I might open myself up to a rewrite at some point in the future.
Just read that article; very informative.

The TLDR is that, especially during GC, P99s and response times are notably worse in Go than Rust. Makes sense.

Learning Rust is a good exercise in understanding memory safety. Learning it will make you understand the gotchas of what can go wrong with memory allocation, which will translate very well to coding in other languages, especially C.

Just like learning Haskel is a good exercise in understanding functional programming and lazy evaluation, which again will translate very well to the code you write as you will be able to identify pattens where functional programming can be applied.

However, neither language is really super applicable to general development, because there are hoops you have to jump through to write basic code where the language advantages are not really need, and other languages are much simpler and faster to develop in.

Golang is much more widely used for this reason, as its compiled yet features a gc, simpler to develop in with java contains a lot of good functionality in its stdlib.
The gold standard are Smalltalk and Common Lisp environments, that people pushing Flutter tend to ignore on their marketing, as they ignored the existing work on Java and .NET ecosystems.

I think Go would typically be considered a possible substitute of one the "more VMy" languages, Rust a complement.

At first glance this looks as if Rust would be more at home with polyglotism, but the typical Rust complement would be a hot performance critical part of something much bigger, and this is already deep in the realm of strategical commitment (all the not so hot parts have to buy in). Whereas Go often enters the picture in isolated one-shots and can grow from there.
My thoughts on your thoughts:

* Go also includes the complete build system, package management (although it wasn't there from the beginning), code documentation, testing and fuzzing. Also the standard library is much more extensive than in Rust ("batteries included").

* Doctests: since you mention them explicitly, Go has those too: https://go.dev/blog/examples

* "Large garbage collector penalty": that obviously depends on your application and what you consider acceptable. I would say that in most cases the easier development enabled by having GC is worth it, but YMMV. Here's a discussion on the Go garbage collector: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12042302

Like i said: it needs cooperation with both kernel and libc.

And you need kernel maintainer cooperation too to "bring pledge to Linux".
that's a lot of my point. The Prius prime (for example) has a 8.8kwh battery, which at $130 per kwh works out to $1150 of battery. That's not negligible, but the benefit is pretty massive. That's a big enough battery to get you 20-25 miles of pure electric range which means that if you have a short commute, you will dramatically cut your gas usage. Full BEV is great obviously, but IMO, you probably want 1 car to be gas optional still, and a PHEV gives you an easy path to be driving almost 100% electric with 0 compromises compared to a gas car.
