All deaths from nuclear anything ever are a rounding error compared to dirty power sources.

Almost a hundred staff died in a hydro disaster in 2009, for some perspective.
> Also, the community is toxic.

How so? I've seen the random drama crop up here and there, but it always seemed to mostly be about the "political" side of things, as opposed to the technical development.

What few interactions I've had with library maintainers and the tokio project have always been positive, and the people always seemed helpful.
Genuinely curious, because I haven't heard these arguments before.

> Totally ignoring the climate impact of nuclear power

What climate impact? I though it was CO2 neutral (except for construction, which has similar costs to wind an solar). A quick google doesn't give me anything.

> it is hard to control the output in a short amount of time

I thought nuclear was basically a steam boiler, same as coal or gas plants? Why is the control slower for nuclear?
Wow, very nice! I didn't know that.
I love how the language is evolving, it also now has generics.

The behavior of the few barbarians undid all the good work done by the company to help both the nations. And sadly the queen did not do anything to stop the barbarians.
OP here… this was a great thread. Here’s a few takeaways, which you may not like, but I think are worth writing out.

1. This def needs hardening. I currently only use it for really low stakes stuff. I need to make that clearer in the README.

2. The next level of hardening I was planning on implementing is rate limiting code requests per email address. I figure I can step up the time-outs between code requests pretty aggressively to slow down brute forcing the code. The ATM that eats the card is a great analogy.

3. Maybe I missed it in the thread, but nobody mentioned that this from of auth makes it evident to the persons being attacked that something is happening if they have a bajillion code requests in their email inbox. There’s a lot of other problems that creates for these auth scheme, like filling a users inbox beyond its quota, triggering high volume breakers for SMTP relay services like AWS SES, etc. that wouldn’t be good.

For those watching, if you’re a security researcher feel free to open a GitHub issue on that repo and I’ll address it.
That MMWR study was a pile of flaming garbage. First, it was conducted in May 2021 (before the Delta wave) so everyone who was vaccinated was well within the first few months of their second dose. We now know that protection against infection rapidly fell after about 4 months.

But also, it was just methodologically flawed -- they didn't bother to correct for the bias that people who were vaccinated after infection in early 2021 were probably behaving differently than those who had not been vaccinated at that time.

If you're going to cite an old MMWR article as "evidence" against the now overwhelming pile of papers demonstrating that the immune system works pretty much as we expect from immmunology 101, don't forget that in early 2022 they released this much better, much larger (N=1.1M people) cohort study, which dramatically showed the opposite of what you're claiming. Prior infection obviously provided robust protection against Delta, on par with the vaccines:

It depends on the reason to learn a new language. Once you know a few languages, you generally only learn a new one if you are trying to solve a specific problem that it can do better.

What I try is to solve a small piece of the problem I am trying to solve to get more familiar with it before committing.
Just like in any sect. As long as you agree everything is perfect, the community is the friendliest indeed.
Oh, and more to the point: This is a role Wikipedia explicitly renounced, isn't it. When it became so big and the Google PageRank gave it high importance, the spam became unbearable so Wikipedia decided it needs to change the incentives and it applied the rel=nofollow to all external links, so that it could stop working as an unpaid manual spam filter for the whole internet.
Sure, your new search might ignore the rel=nofollow but if you ever become big enough, the incentives of spammers would lead to a bigger spamming pressure on Wikipedia...
I'm tired of these probably nuclear industry backed articles that are wrong and miss the point.

1. Nuclear energy is no solution. See here for an example how things turn out in real life (in German): https://www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/Deutsche-Solaranlagen-haengen...

2. Germany doesn't really lack electricity. You cannot replace gas in industrial processes that need heat just like that with electricity. If you could, you could also use renewable energy. Things change very slowly on this side.

Another of those propaganda articles by nuclear lobbyist.
Alcohol consumption is near an ideal case to study for Mendelian randomization, since there are fairly common, well-distributed gene variants which make alcohol consumption a lot less enjoyable.

Since this a known reason for drinking less, and the people with the variants are otherwise similar to everyone else, we can disentangle it from all the other things which affects how much you drink - not just things we can guess, like health issues and dietary customs, but things we haven't even thought of.

So there's really no reason to try to use studies like this to draw casual inferences about if (or "for who", nice garden of forking paths you have there) some low level of alcohol consumption may still be healthy. We have fundamentally better tools.

And those tools have, in later years, essentially sunk the old idea of a j-shaped alcohol harms curve. There is no benefit at low levels.
Thanks. There's now a better filter that matches if all words in the filter match.

For instance you could type "reponame issues" and it will probably show what you want.

Also the overflow scrollbar should be fixed.
Considering Google's answer box randomly picked multiple photos of unrelated people as pictures of murderers and rape victims (with Google being very uncooperative about resolving the issue) I'd say the lack of an answer box might not be that bad.
I meant the landing page, for auth and showing features/pricing/etc to new users. Not the web-app, sorry I should have made that clear.

Although a company that Open Sources a website and web-app but not the data itself would be interesting to see, but perhaps too easy to clone.
I write a 9P server, and, if I'm enjoying the language, a ray tracer.
There is no quick going back to nuclear power and right now the past is irrelevant - the future matters. Might as well skip on new fission and then maybe build fusion power plants (if and when).

By the way: using coal as an emergency backstop if there is no gas was always the official plan.
No it is there for netting and clearing.
It should work better now since the maxResults and startDate allow more results.
> but there's no job in

That's just not true.

Rust got already adopted by lot of either big or interesting to work at players (Amazon, Microsoft, DropBox, ...?) and, while anecdotal, I myself get also paid to program rust.

> the community is toxic.
> In the rust community, just like a sect, everybody must say that everything is just perfect.

I often get the opposite feeling with all the diverse and lengthy discussions about how to do things, e.g., like getting async stable a few years ago or long blog articles of core contributors that state "we can do a lot better here and there" in public blog posts that get shared on /r/rust and don't get shunned.
Tried a few things:

- Beltalowda – no results (for reference: it's a term to refer to "people from the [asteroid] belt" used in the The Expanse books and TV series).

- The Expanse – bunch of results, but none are what I'm looking for (the TV series or books). It looks like it may drop the "the" in there?

- Star Trek – a bunch of results, but ordered very curiously; the first is the Wikipedia page for "Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual", and lots of pages like "Weapons in Star Trek" and such.

- NGC 3623 – lists "Messier object" and "Messier 65", in that order, which is somewhat wrong as NGC 3623 refers to Messier 65 specifically.

- NGC3623 (same as previous, but without a space) – no results.

- vim map key – pretty useless results, most of which have no bearing on Vim at all, much less mapping keys in Vim.

- python print list – the same; The Go type parameters proposal is the first result; automake the second, etc.

Conclusion: "this product is experimental and incomplete" is an understatement.
>Yes, but there's also a reason why the Rust -> JS route never took off.

What is this reason?
I just straight up tell recruiters what my expectations are. Yes, there's a risk of selling myself short, but if I quote a number I am happy with (say, current salary plus 33%) and they are fine with it, why should I be unhappy if I got what I demanded?
Yes. Rust is for what you'd otherwise have to write in C++. It's overkill for web services. You have to obsess over who owns what. The compiler will catch memory safety errors, but you still have to resolve them. It's quite possible to paint yourself into a corner and have to go back and redesign something. On the other hand, if you really need to coordinate many CPUs in a complicated way, Rust has decent facilities for that.

Goroutines don't have the restrictions of async that you must never block or spend too much time computing. Goroutines are preemptable. The language has memory-safe concurrency (except for maps, which is weird) and has garbage collection. So you can have parallelism without worrying too much about race conditions or leaks.

Go comes with very solid libraries for most server-side web things, because they're libraries Google uses internally. Rust crates have the usual open source problem - they get to 95%-99% debugged, but the unusual cases may not work right. Go has actual paid QA people.

Go has limited aims. It was created so that Google could write their internal server side stuff in something safer than C++ and faster than Python. It has a limited feature set. It's a practical tool.

I write hard stuff (a multi-thread metaverse viewer) in Rust, and easy web stuff (a data logger which updates a database) in Go. Use the right tool for the job.
Yes, "Yes, fossil fuels may be worse per unit of energy generated, but they are never quite this spectacular in a single event."
Cool stuff. GraalVM has been another to get make JVM Clojure apps cold start quickly. I guess when deciding between these the ergonomics of AWS APIs between the JS and JVM platforms would be a big consideration, anyone tried both and can report?
There's several square meters on there, and they could be using high efficiency panels.

700W is perfectly reasonable. I have a 200W panel acting as shade over a tricycle which is much smaller and can easily charge a 1kWh battery in a day..

The death tallies are statistical noise compared to normal cancer deaths, etc, and can't be differentiated.

All you can do is look at the dose and estimate the deaths. Pretty obvious the evacuation-related death toll is going to be one order of magnitude, and perhaps 2 orders of magnitude higher than Fukushima.
interesting writeup, and detailed examples.

i was wondering about the use case,
from what little i've read, assemblyscript is an alternative for devs who want to stick to typescript style language with some fine grained control for lower level webassembly. see some utility for niche cases where perfor mance is needed for complex data structures, not entirely convinced though, specially with v8 JS giving excellent performace out of the box
I propagated this across half a dozen classroom computers back in middle school, armed with a single floppy disk. It made the span between the end of cross country practice and the time the sports bus took us home a lot more fun.
I'm not quite sure what you're saying, but RSUs are only taxable at vesting, and are taxed based on their market value at vesting. If the companies stock is worth less per unit, then you are taxed less.
China Runs Out of Energy
China runs out of energy, RUS grinds on in UKR forever until they run out of military, Europe burns coal instead of nuclear in the name of green-tech.

None of those things stop people having relationships.
Ethereum was the first ICO.
>I'm not saying it doesn't exist

okay, well, others with relevant qualifications are saying it DOES exist, so since nobody seems to be saying it doesn't, I guess we can go with their expert conclusions.
Shade might be a problem. Otherwise you can easily fit 3 sqm of panels which at Boston should [1] generate 688 kwh/yr. At 15kwh/100km efficiency that’s 4500km or 2800 miles or about 20% of your figure.

So… if you have shade, drive lots or live with little sun - buy something else. But if you can’t install solar on your roof and park on street - maybe solar car is decent fit!

If you see the dirty blob, here are some things to consider
1. Switching between box and brush, in most cases one of them would work better.
2. Box would be preferred for full object removal, Brush would be good for texture retouch, but it could vary some times so try both.
3. The result won't be pretty on big object removal.
4. Remove the dirty blob or "Undo" and box/brush again.

We are working on more advanced backend to get a cleaner job done, sorry for the frustration. Thanks for trying it out and the valuable feedback!
"Since the certificates are integral part of the [routers] connectors

E-waste is a matter of choice. We destroy gear that would be very
useful to someone by electronically hobbling it. The most egregious
offences begin when a manufacturer chooses to deploy control,
licensing and so-called "security" features via TPM, DRM, burned in
firmware and hidden enclaves. The war on waste is a war on this greed
and spitefulness.

The best analogy I know is when British supermarkets adulterated
surplus food with dye to stop homeless people from benefitting from
food banks - a practice that was very rightly banned.
>I am in decent health. My Dr. and I discussed it, and there is no compelling reason for me to get yearly flu shots.

That might be the right personal decision, but it ignores the public health aspect -- getting the flu shot will help reduce your chance of contracting and spreading the flu to others.
Well that’s just egregious.

If the room reads right I’ll occasionally do that as a joke, but I have heard too many stories of people who do it for real (one of the reasons I try to make it a joke).

> Essentially, everything we do is between other mammoth systems and thus most “work” is actually configuring systems to talk to each other or talking to other teams about guarantees, capacity etc. The actual engineering work is minimal and the development speed is glacial.

This is something I found out the hard way too. At some point in life I fell in love with sofware (coming from IT). Made it into a fairly big company, and came to understand that its mostly meetings, sync ups and polishing tasks on jira. I figured that quitting that job, before I'd end up hating software was the best route to go. I now am an independent contractor and consultant, only working on projects that deeply interest me. It's less stable, and throughout my career the income will likely be a lot less than at any BigTechCo (30-50%). But at least there is room for personal advancement and working on adventurous things here and there.
Could this be case of an extreme regulation, much like "everything is known to cause cancer in the state of California"?

Czechia, Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine are much closer to Chernobyl than Bavaria is, and the populations there regularly pick and eat mushrooms without suffering a wave of extra cancers.
you're confusing bravery and stupidity.

Well, in that historical case, the sale of Opium to China was a state sponsored project. Opium was only a minor problem in England, but it wasn't being smuggled into England by a quasi-hostile foreign country trying to re-balance its trade deficits.

Same thing on Android, even after Treble, it is easier to just target plain Chrome instead.

With Google turning the Web into ChromeOS, with the complacency of Microsoft and other Chrome based forks, it is hardly any difference.
I know there wasn't a referendum but I asked the question to show you that citizens didn't have their say in the matter.

So it isn't a democracy.
Yep this is normal. The more senior you go, the more you are either managing people, or are just a subject matter expert that ends up either fixing problems or writing design docs.

There is an art of being able to code with people rather than your fingers as a senior engineer, but often time this requires a capstone project to develop from scratch which is far and few in between.

The thing to do with big tech is find a position that pays the most per time spent actually working (which is not always the higher pay), and enough to cover all your needs, and then work on personal projects in the off time. Or you can grind out for several years while saving money, then take unpaid leave.
It could suggest a travelling rust learner in the same way that swordsmen in feudal Japan used to perfect their art by travelling around.
fair enough, either keep vigilant or be played. that's how capitalism works now
Thank you @costcofries!
The funniest thing is - Germany was repeatedly warned by Eastern European states that this (literally this) will happen if they continue to build Nord Stream 1 and then Nord Stream 2 and try to "fix" Russia by trade. Russian government already poisoned Ukrainian presidential candidate in 2004. Killed opposition and journalists both in Russia and in EU. Invaded 2 countries (Chechnia and Georgia - I don't even count Lithuania cause it was technically USSR) and committed war crimes (especially in Chechnia). And Germany just ignored this cause cheap gas and "they will surely change if we just give them money".

Like how dumb can you be?

Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania and probably others warned Germany and the rest of EU about this for decades.

Polish president in 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia said "Today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, and then, perhaps, my country - Poland". It wasn't some genius foresight- this was mainstream opinion in Poland and many other EE states for over a decade already. We warned about Russia using the pipelines for blackmail and about their ambitions to recreate USSR against the will of the people in post-communist states.

By 2010 Russia already shut down gas for various EE states on several occasions to blackmail or punish them. Germany knew this and just ignored it. Probably cause it "couldn't happen to Germany and fuck EE".

In 2014 Russia invaded Ukraine for the first time and annexed Crimea. Also supported dictator Assad in murdering his own citizens and used hybrid warfare on EU by helping him push refuges to EU which created a huge political crisis.

Germany knew this and still sucked that gas like there's no tommorow and continued to build Nord Stream 2.

Last year Russian agents blew up a big ammo warehouse in Czech Republic. Germany still continued with Nord Stream, cause you know, who cares about Czech Republic (their ally in NATO and EU).

Oh, BTW - Germany also sold weapons to Russia and helped them train soldiers all through that time. They were supposed to stop after 2014 but they didn't.

All the warnings and pleas to stop doing business with Russia and especially to stop sending them weapons and increasing energy dependency were dismissed by Germany (and other EU states to a lesser degree) as "russophobic" because these countries were "understandeably traumatized" and "didn't understand modern global politics". Basically Germany treated us like dumb kids while commiting slow extended suicide.

It's mind-boggling how a big European state like Germany with big ambitions and supposedly independent media could be so ignorant for 3 decades with nobody in the country taking the warnings seriously.

I founf myself in your same situation a few months ago. I chose Rust and regret it

Rust is a better c++. It's not appropriate for anything you wouldn't program in c++. The coding speed is slow

Lean Out: Employees Are Accepting Lower Pay in Order to Work Remotely
About 18 years ago I wrote an internal intranet application for someone in PHP (yuck). This runs one of their core business processes. Every 3 years we do a review of the system, replace the hardware and update the software. This is exactly where CentOS variants sit for me. The last two upgrade cycles, the computer has not been down at all in the interim. It has literally been up for 3 years. The only changes have been to support later versions of Postgres and PHP and to move the backups to S3 rather than tape.

Why not the cloud? The company is in a rural location with a shitty internet connection and 50 users. When initially provisioned there was no internet connection at all!

There’s a lot of stuff which is in the territory of “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” and that’s where these distributions sit. That may cover industrial, office, line of business apps, temporarily connected or fully offline systems. Or just stuff you don’t want to piss around with.

Also never underestimate the power of having stuff you don’t have to touch or even go near. When was the last time you got paid monthly to do something once every three years?
We don’t have an energy problem. We have a gas problem.

I’m open for (re-)discussing nuclear energy here in Germany, but we could run 100% on nuclear or coal and a full gas stop by Russia would still have catastrophic consequences. We need gas for industrial/chemical processes and heating our homes. In fact, if the Energiewende had progressed a bit further, then more houses would have installed a heat pump by now.
