There are no true interests concerning energy production related to inertial confinement fusion. It is completely impossible for ICF to ever have a cost/watt that would make it even remotely economical. A coal power plant burning diamond instead of coal would almost certainly have better economic fundamentals than ICF can hope to achieve.

So this is weapons research and basic physics research caked in the language of power generation.

Not really true. If you have a full price / flex ticket you can take any train you want, and if you have a discounted ticket you are obliged to go to the info desk and they will give you a connection to take. They will also give you a new reservation.

Connections do get missed, and if they do you are entitled to a 25% money back for 1 hour, and 50% for two hour delays.
I do it during tests.

Since I'm already spawning a TestHost and trying out various API calls, one of these tests basically does "curl $host/openapi/openapi.json | diff ./docs/openapi.json". If it spots a change and fails the test, I check that the difference is expected, and if so I temporarily enable and run a different "test" which actually writes the updated file.
I am primarily complaining about claim that everyone could die.

That would not happen even in an outright full scale nuclear war.

Exact way of dying (starvation, frying, flash frying, whatever) is not so important to me.

> catastrophic chaining failure of nuclear plants

That is also not going to happen. Even misdesigned soviet atomic bomb factory operating in insanely unsafe mode by incompetents managed to avoid this.

> Nobody but the most crazy out-of-touch pro-nuclear person is going to try to claim that we can directly control neutrons, free particles, or the half lives of deadly carcinogens, or that we can filter them from our water supplies.

The same applies to flood from collapsed dam or emitted CO2 or radiation emitted by coal power plants.
Oh excellent, just the tool I've been looking for!
It is a rookie mistake to think that programming is splitting a big task into smaller tasks that are splitted into even smaller tasks, and that once the process is done, you can use mindless drones to complete these microtasks.

It assumes the perfect knowledge, the fixed work volume.

In practice, you don't know how much work might be required (a small task may blow up). It is inevitable that sometimes you have to drop features to ship in time. Programming is an iterative probabilistic process.
That doesn't look like it's been open sourced yet, unfortunately.

I just can't get past how bad SourceHut's UI is. They really need to hire someone that knows some basic UI principles.

Edit: As a commenter suggested, I will elaborate a little:

I'm a big fan of minimalist and lightweight UIs, that's not my issue with SourceHut's design. My issue is the disregard for several established UI principles (balance, proportion, repetition, etc.). Some examples:

- The login[0] and register[1] pages have completely inconsistent layouts (left aligned vs centered aligned, one has a header and the other not, etc.).

- The margin between the top navigation and page content is inconsistent from page to page.

- Inconsistent styling of links. Some links have an underline that disappears on mouseover, while for some other links, it's the opposite[2].

- Inconsistent use of margin/padding all over the place.

Etc.

No - the claim that PR agencies were involved in climate change denial is pretty solid. It's basically their work. My point is that we should resist the renaming BS
Australia really messed up. They had it eliminated from their population entirely, but then let it back in by not screening or quarantining people coming in from the outside. Australia could have had zero restrictions and zero covid.

That’s a pretty extraordinary claim.

I know single stack can be more productive, but that sounds very impressive. Could you perhaps talk details of:

- styling blazor (eg. Bootstrap, tailwind); is it just drop in? How do you use it, eg. Without the tailwind preprocessor npm package?

- interactive front end components (eg drag and drop) that lag badly when using SS blazor in examples.

- bridging to native js (which is ultimately unavoidable in situations where you need integration like maps as far as I know)

- scaling load on concurrent users (one ws per user right? Are you using the signalr service & functions? I tried this and found the long running azure functions are quite expensive to run. Do you have advice?
In my (lack of) knowledge of North Korea, I don't think most people even have computers, and it's not like the government's built infrastructure to just connect their computer to the LAN. (It's different if you're part of the government elite living in the compounds for sure...).
The BBC as a public broadcaster isn't in the business of hosting contrarians for profit but to broadcast factful news, so.. not really.

This comes with some caveats:

- It's always affordable; if you cannot pay for any reason then you'll be given free service.

- Payment is not required to contribute to projects, just to host them.

- Paying for SourceHut makes more sense than paying for other platforms. The money stays in FOSS and keeps the platform accountable to its users, not its investors. Choosing a free service means that you're subject to someone else's demands -- that is, whoever is actually footing your bill.

pmOS is already aware of this, in fact they're already paying to use the CI service. Still: it's important for new users to understand this. Everyone who signs up is sent a welcome email which lays out these details.
Integrity in news reporting has nothing to do with presenting every possible view as legitimate.

A news report about the Earth that invites both physicists and flat earth loonies is not in any way better than one that doesn't even mention the flat Earth "theory".

You are actively misleading the public when inviting climate change deniers to a discussion about climate change.
It's not bad at all, unfamiliar perhaps, because all the others have copied github.

> free transit mostly serves to divert people from walking and cycling, not cars and planes

Source for this claim? I would be surprised if it holds true.

> Most rail transportation could not handle the crush of additional riders from free rides

This is a problem with the infrastructure, not free rides. Of course capacity planning has to be adapted to keep up with increased usage, but thats literally what we want. We want more people to use public transportation, limiting or capping usage is the wrong approach IMHO.

Why does everybody always that that offering children the choice of CPS or not is effectively "throwing in the towel"? Yes, CPS will have to offer something meaningful (ie. a reasonable path to a decent future) to children, or not have any children.

That's a good thing. It does not mean CPS ceases to be, just that the (many) really bad parts will get into serious trouble. That will be a very good thing.

I want the power of government to FORCE themselves into 99% of the life of a child to cease. If that doesn't improve the lot of the child (the outcome), it's an abuse of power. I do not even imply it's their intention to abuse power (although clearly that exists), it just needs to stop.

So I must say I see your position as something you often see when it's about CPS: that they are about guaranteeing jobs/organisations' existence for existing employees/organisations (and subcontractors and ...), and absolutely not about children. That it's about guaranteeing punishment for "bad parenting", whether that means vaccinating children or NOT vaccinating children. About destroying lives of undesirable groups. The large majority of people working in CPS have zero interest in caring for children. That's fundamentally what needs to change: CPS needs to fundamentally be about caring for children.

Not about fixing society. Not about punishing whatever some people consider bad. Not about forcing people to live a certain way by means of threats and punishments.

this will be my go-to example of how random computer programmers on HN have such profound over-confidence about things they know nothing about that their opinions on anything other than programming are actively dangerous. it is a good reminder for everyone else who still has self-awareness, though, to doubt themselves more when talking about topics they don't know anything about.

As much as I enjoy nicely produced content most often mentioned here, lately I tend to prefer less-produced videos made by professionals in a field.

When I got interested in Asian cuisine, I learned a lot from Chef Wang Gang, there is a retired F1 engineer called Malcolm Oastler documenting his project of motorbike-powered race car, a Canadian artist David Bull living in Japan and specializing in Japanese poster art. It takes much longer to find them, but I find the results much more satisfying in the long term.

The EU has quietly provided Morocco with powerful phone hacking systems [French]
DeepL Translation: According to documents obtained by Disclose and Der Spiegel from European institutions, the Swedish company MSAB has provided the Moroccan police with a software called XRY capable of unlocking all types of smartphones to extract data from calls, contacts, location, but also messages sent and received by SMS, WhatsApp and Signal. As for Oxygen forensic, domiciled in the United States, it has delivered a data extraction and analysis system called "Detective". What makes it special? Bypassing screen locks on mobile devices in order to extract information stored in the cloud (Google, Microsoft or Apple) or secure applications on any phone or computer. The notable difference with Pegasus software is that both software require physical access to the mobile device to be hacked, and do not allow remote monitoring.
Everyone does the color-rays thing first, because that's the easy part. At the heart of his vision are several non-trivial, unsolved problems. Most of these are still non-trivial & unsolved. Instead of clearly identifying & expanding upon these problems, one-by-one, & posting a bounty, he blames his programmers. The man does not like programmers.

It is ridiculous. Going by the "Computer Lib" book, and when it was published, it's obvious that Ted knows enough about how computers work, and has had more than enough time to write the thing all by himself--if his only problems were programming ones.

In a way, I am glad he failed. A Google-scale Google is bad enough. Adding a Google-scale Elsevier into the mix is not a plus.
For an expected short delay (like getting perms from an internal team), it might make sense to do nothing (on the product).

I only want one pronoun, and it should mean "you're not interesting enough for me to care" :)

I don't know where it came from tbh, probably monday lack of caffeine and capacity to handle the many facets of being human.. A weariness of constantly seeing articles about why and how my gender and culture is toxic and must change to focus on stuff I don't care about.. I just want to program computers.. I don't care about the politics or culture, if I did, I'd have become something in the humanities.. And the constant pressure to extinguish the thing in my field that makes it comfortable for me to be there.. That I do in fact get to be left alone for long stretches of time to focus on doing something I _can_ do well, rather than a constant nagging about the things I find uncomfortable and can't do well.. Kinda gets to me the end, the constant hate on the oldfashioned stereotypical loner geek.. The constant pressure to push them out because they don't conform socially or enjoy working in teams..

Thing is, while functioning in a team is something that can be learnt to some degree, it's not the default mode of operation for all of us.. And the pressure to make it the default mode of operation for all software development nags me, because it means that there won't be a place for me in the future, I will be excluded, in the holy name of inclusivity (which means something very specific, namely defined by problem hair and pronouns).

Because, I'm one of the wrong ones, I've always been, but in the past, computers were the one place where I could be myself on my own terms.

> A children's railway or pioneer railway is an extracurricular educational institution, where teenagers interested in rail transport can learn railway professions.

There is the AAPowerLink project which proposes exactly this. It's a ~20GW solar farm in Australia with battery storage and a 4500km HVDC undersea cable to export power to Singapore.
Seems currently in a planning and Project seems to be in a planning and exploration stage with funding not fully secured though.
In the UK, you need a substantial amount of meta-knowledge about the media outlets and political landscape in order to use news reporting to become more, not less or dis-, informed.

It’s a shame that the idea of learning media studies and related subjects at school or university were so maligned in the 00s, but probably not a coincidence either.

Not an expert in Godot and definitely not an expert in C#, but I'd say the only real difference is that the documentation for GDScript is slightly better and there are significantly more tutorials for using GDScript than C# with Godot. All of the functions and concepts that are used in GDScript have an equivalent in C#, and you normally can just use the same function in camelCase.

You can use both languages in one project, so I'd recommend trying GDScript at first. It's a very simple language so it can be picked up quickly, but as soon as you feel yourself reaching for LINQ or wanting a proper type system then switch that script to C#.

Show HN: CrossFit Timers with Svelte, TailwindCSS and Firebase
As a java backend developer decided to practice some front end work (Each backend developer dreams to become FrontEnd developer :-D )

I сhoosed Svelte+TailwindCSS to get more familiar with frameworks as I planning to use it on my next project(probably SvelteKit+TailwindCSS and SSR on Firebase function).

But to get started, decided to begin with something simple, pure Svelte+TailwindCSS and Firebase hosting.

And as my morning routine starts with some workout, decided to implement CrossFit timers.

This simple project allow me to understand more deeply:
- work with components and cross-component communication
- work with local storage (custom store), so you can save yours timers to local storage
- PWA capabilities, you can install it on your device and it can work in offline mode.
- get familiar with utility classes and configuration of Tailwind
- deploy it to Firebase hosting

Few words about product's features: Four different timers available (Tabata, EMOM, AMRAP, RFT); possibility to save your timer; you can share your timers e.g. between your devices or with your friends or audience(for this purpose, custom URL parser/generator was implemented as Svelte doesn't support routing unlike SvelteKit/Sapper); PWA and Offline mode.

Conclusion/Impression:
It's pleasure to work with Svelte, it allows you write well structured code, all concepts are understandable and easy to apply, pre built animations and transition, flexibility

With TailwindCSS you can quickly prototype UI components with any complexity with 99% of cases, otherwise extensions are available.

Firebase allowed me to deploy the app in few clicks and, as it just hosting, free quotes are available.
