Then let an old fogey make it more clear: browsers repaint/recalculate if you read after write. This required batching writes separate from reads if you wanted decent performance on older browsers and especially on older machines.

Reading an element property, adding/updating a nearby element, and then reading another element's property took FOREVER. Enter the virtual DOM. Since it did not engage the actual rendering engine, the reads and writes did not trigger reflow. At the end of the code segment, the actual DOM actions became effectively write-only. Even though the virtual DOM was slower per access than the actual DOM, the end result was a MASSIVE speed up.

This message brought to you by someone who honed their skills for a decade to batch their reads and writes in vanilla JS only to have those new-fangled frameworks take care of it (and data binding) for you. Jerks.

Hydroelectric dams typically cause even more damage when they fail, but I rarely see people worrying about whether using them for power will lead to war-time issues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dam_failure

Of course, the Geneva Convention bans attacking dams, just like it bans attacking nuclear power plants.

The pollution from burning coal has already killed more people than nuclear disasters conceivably could.

If we could use only wind and solar power to fully replace fossil fuels and hydro, that could be a reasonable argument...

But it seems unrealistic to get enough energy without using some higher-density sources of energy, whether that's hydro or nuclear or oil, and if we're picking based on which one causes the least death, even accounting for wars and failures, nuclear seems to be a head and shoulder above the rest.

The primary thing that seems to be driving using coal plants and not using nuclear is purely monetary cost: nuclear plants take a huge up-front investment, coal plants already exist, and wind/solar can be transitioned to gradually with less up-front cost. The talk about nuclear's "danger" to me seems, quite plausibly, to be a post-facto justification based on not wanting to put up the money.
It is true, regardless of what you believe. There is a ton if empirical evidence for it.

Having the patience to push and set legal precedent isn't a superpower. Not sure what your point is here.
I can't help but think this is sometimes an excuse to not read the actual article. If one doesn't have the time to read it, that's understandable. But the best response would be to recuse yourself from the review rather than avoiding reading it. If it's unclear after reading it, it's fine to reject it but I think we owe it to the authors to at least read it in its entirety.

It's not uncommon to have to explain this to a junior researcher when they are confronted by review comments that were clearly already answered in text and the reviewer just didn't read it.[1] It does a disservice to the field and, IMO, is unprofessional.

[1] Before anyone jumps to conclusions like "Those questions should have been clear from the figures", sometime they are questions that are not suitable for being answered in figures. Examples being, "The research should have explained why these particular ML models were used" when the paragraphs directly state things like "These ML methods were chosen because..."
> An adversary might still be able to take out the grid by targeting transmission infrastructure, but recovering from it should be relatively quick because the actual generators are all still intact.

The most difficult part of the grid is the transmission infrastructure. The most valuable, high-lead-time part probably being the HV transformers that live near power plants.
Wait what? How does the motor voltage affect charging rate? That's limited by the chemistry in the cells and perhaps heat dissipation, isn't it?
I say this as probably one of the most skilled rm2k3 devs (credentials: rpgmaker.net/games/5794/), don't develop using this generation anymore.

I think this project is neat from a preservation perspective, but there are so many limitations to its target engine that you will quickly bump into if you try to make anything that even approaches the quality of a real SNES RPG.

You're much better off using one of the later gen engines that uses JavaScript (probably whatever the very latest is).
Because every time something like that gets accepted, that moves the Overton window down, and makes it easier to take the next step. "What if they want to sell one of their kidneys? They are theirs. What if a little action in the backroom is needed for a promotion? They can always say no".

We should be building a better society for future generations, not for a few billionaires.
Russians never wanted to truly damage any reactor, including the one at Zaporizhzhia; they made some noise to spread fear and remind the world about the dangers of nuclear war and what could happen should anyone think of attacking them over there. Then they seized the reactors to take control of powerful sources of energy so they could cut them at will, then amassed weapons there for being the safest places around. Their strategy there was 50% PsyOps, that is, propaganda, and 50% military tactics. I find it extremely unlikely, but should something nasty happens to any of the Ukrainian nuclear reactors, it will be 99.9% by mistake.
>If someone is willing...

I'm gonna stop you right there and point out that while nobody ever puts a gun to one's head when it comes to taking a job, it's never that cut and dry. They may not normally be willing, but they may be desperate enough under the right circumstances. That desperation, hell even willingness in and of itself, doesn't justify on-the-job abuses.
Most people use kernel to mean "operating system kernel" only. Your definition is a superset of that, so it fits the general definition but then expands it in a way that doesn't have broad consensus. That's why people disagree with you.
When you say "nuclear", do you mean all forms of fission reactors? Or do you mean today's inferior designs? Your comment makes sense in the context of conventional light-water reactors. However, there exist more advanced reactor designs that are essentially meltdown-proof.
> limited warranty period of 20-25 years depending on manufacture

If there’s a significant enough problem, these construction manufacturers have a tendency to go out of business and reorganize, voiding all the warranties in the process.

Nothing to see here.

Never forget the first rule of skateboarding: you will fall, miss or crash. It's not if it's when. What happen then depend on your speed (hopefully). So I dont drive above 20 miles an hour on my scooter. Above is simply not viable.
Yes, that's one reason.

But if you're going to take the words and sentence to refer to reasons... list the reasons. Or, don't refer to them and write about something else.

Nuclear power plants create large amounts of waste that remain radioactive for thousands of years. In the United States, most nuclear waste is stored on site at the plant. This is because there is simply nowhere else to put it. Uranium is a natural material and will eventually run out, much like fossil fuels. In other words, cross nuclear off the list of sustainable energy. Solar energy would be the most obvious sustainable source, we just need better ways of converting the energy.
> Where I live, public transit is faster than driving 90% of the time, the same speed 5% of the time, and slower the rest.

Despite the benefits that you cite, you’re still selling something most people don’t want. Or, if they do use it they dislike it and still use a car for the majority of their other travel.
I think it's more subtle than that. I personally interpreted the tone of the headline to be hinting at something much more nefarious than "Amazon plans to hire ex-inmates to fight off union influence", and it looks like I wasn't alone. It's a terrible headline that doesn't do a good job of summarizing the key point of the article. A more cynical person than myself might even throw around the term clickbait.

It became a thing in different places at different times. I'm curious to learn more about the history actually, because all the sources I can find are specifically oriented around political action and do not present any factual history.

From what I could find about California, jaywalking is not illegal on most streets, but happens to be illegal when crossing most streets in densely populated areas. Specifically, you are not allowed to cross streets that have crosswalks at both ends unless you do it at the crosswalk. The current laws are from 1959 and seem to have been passed specifically to reduce pedestrian fatalities. These laws seems pretty successful at accomplishing that goal, and recent attempts to remove jaywalking laws over racial equality concerns have been blocked in the interest of public safety (rightly, in my opinion).

To answer you question, in CA at least, it appears that pedestrians were kicked off after everyone had cars. Streets are unsafe for pedestrians, but it's because people drive on them, not the other way around.
Just did the same to my bookmark. In Smart Note Taking, the idea of focusing on what you are consuming for the purpose of learning and writing is constantly stressed. Namely, in reading something, how does this further my learning and/or writing? If it does, record a brief note of it. If it does not, consider, well, putting that away and moving back to something else.
The article is a bit fast and loose with its data. Borssele indeed has limited high-energy radioactive waste; the article omits that there is also low-energy radioactive waste - a lot more, in fact.

Similarly, recycling may be a problem for solar panels, but is that better for nuclear? I have never heard / read about how to recycle the (radioactive) non-fuel parts of a nuclear reactor.

I'm not against nuclear per se, but articles such as this one don't help. I think there's a genuine case for nuclear to be made; this isn't it.
As of the last month, crypto and certain shady exchanges were the only (known to me) way to send money to Russia.
That is the problem. It doesn't fit their narrative, which is why they do not report it, hence why we need multiple sources like this video, beyond the Guardian to see past the bias they have on their reporting.

The Guardian is the equivalent to the Daily Mail but for the liberal left-leaning readers, and I expect the Guardian and other so-called news sources to deliver a single side of the story. They won't ever cover all sources since they have an obvious strong bias unfortunately.

So yes, as a result tons of readers, outsiders, etc get easily manipulated into their lies and deception.
Clearly that was used as a historical example of a bad actor. The nuclear debate is not a US only discusion
But if you aren't technical, LinkedIn is still the best place to engage. I sell media advertising and LinkedIn is by far the best social media platform. It's also the best social media platform for our media organization because we are looking for B2B audience.

The real solution is building a B2B social media network. But that is very very hard to do.
In 3rd grade at my school library there was a book called something like 20 Computer Games that was just pages filled with BASIC programs you had to type out. I assume now it was for Commodore 64, which I didn't have and was already obsolete, but I was able to convert a lot of those games to QBasic and had a blast with it. Imagine how happy I was when I saw a book about my favorite game genre at our city library, RPG Programming! That was rather disappointing.
particularly relevant because the need for more energy is by far strongest in regions that are geopolitical hotbeds with often unstable governments and threats of terrorism. With nuclear infrastructure both as a target and source for material.
Waste disposal isn't that hard. The Onkalo nuclear waste repository in Finland pretty much has it covered.

First, you find a hard-rock mountain where geology shows nothing much happening in the last few million years, and there's nothing worth mining. Worldwide, there are many mountain ranges like that.
Then tunnel way down, but preferably above the water table. Drill holes in the tunnel floor. Put waste in suitable containers. There are a few approaches. Mixing the waste with molten glass and pouring it into big stainless steel thimbles is one approach.
Put containers in holes. Fill with bentonite. Seal off with concrete. Eventually, seal off the whole installation and forget about it.
Radioactive sources have all kinds of applications in industry and medicine. If you have been to the dentist, you have probably been near one. They are dangerous in the same sense that a falling brick is dangerous.
TIL the Mary Rose. [1] doesn't say for sure it was top-heavy, though.

"Marsden has suggested that the weight of additional heavy guns would have increased her draught so much that the waterline was less than one metre (c. 3 feet) from the gunports on the main deck."

gosh, you'd think someone would have noticed that.

Nuclear power if necessary but not necessarily nuclear power. Over the past decade the economic environment of nuclear power has entirely shifted due the huge drop in the cost of solar and wind. Not only is solar/wind cheap but because these can be built in a year or two, as opposed to decades for nuclear, governments accountants will much prefer them over nuclear. Nuclear will have some niche segments and I see a small nuclear design is about to be approved in the US that would be useful. But in the big picture of over all power generation nuclear will continue to fade away.
We don't value either invention or the kind of hard work it requires any more as a society, and so we don't produce many inventors any longer.
The greatest accomplishments also tend to come with the greatest risks. If you don't try, you won't fail. You also won't succeed.
IMO, this is a key difference between AU and USA. In Australia the government gives you rights. But that means they can also revoke them in some situations since the rights are derived from the government itself. In the US, our rights are innate and inalienable. We possess them because we exist. Our constitution says the government cannot violate these innate rights, not that the document/government gives us the rights. It is a subtle yet very important difference.
Hypothetical, but the occurrence of future large scale conflict is overwhelmingly likely. This will remain a valid concern - not just accidents, but intentional attacks - until design of plants advances to be robust against strikes to failsafe without active management

And about the why, here's the reason.

A lot of single programmers in dense metros, living in apartments, conveniently located next to transit and close to work, might do so. Getting groceries for a family, getting kids to schools and after school activities, running errands etc. is very inconvenient on a bus. As for how much cheaper is the bus I am not sure, last time I've taken one it was $1.5 for each leg, of course, this depends on location, though it's pretty stressful with half of the passengers being seemingly troubled and sometimes "experiencing" strong BO, urination, vomiting and drug consumption right on the bus.
A good estimate to gauge the societal investment needed to generate electricity in a certain way, is to look at its total cost in dollar/MWh. Wikipedia has a nice graphic prepared for just that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source#... (which ignores externalized costs like CO2 or nuclear waste)
You can see in there that nuclear has triple the cost compared to solar.

As we need to replace as much fossil-fueled power plants as possible and as quickly as possible, wasting ressources into building nuclear power plants sounds stupid.
Other interesting factors:

* Heating climate is a risk for nuclear https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/07/climate-events-are-t...

* Maintenance cost is hard to predict https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/EDF-revises-up-c...

* 30 planned + 60 unplanned days shutdown on average https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=37252
The most interesting thing in the article for me was that the 250 reactors needed to power Europe would produce 1.3 cubic kilometers of nuclear waste per year. That’s actually way more waste volume than I assumed. I wonder what the figure is for the United States.
I did have a read of their website, but it reads a bit like a kickstarter campaign with lots of vague statements and no details.

There are multiple nuclear (fission) startups in the last decade or so. My understanding is that financial backing is not their problem; outdated regulations are. And fear stokes outdated regulations.

An idea I've had while writing books and how GPT3 could help.

The interesting/fun bit is creating the insight. Like 5 bullet points. Then you need a good anecdote to drive the point home. Another 5 bullet points.

Expanding those 10 bullet points into prose is the boring part. GPT3 could do that and create a vomit draft for you. Then you can polish the draft into good prose, which again is the fun part.
I'm not sure why you think I'm saying you shouldn't have the relevant certification.
Why do you think you have to decide between bad and worse? I think we should prioritize our planet over economy and lifestyle.
This is everything that's wrong with web development frameworks in the last 5-10 years. Everything's optimized for the seductive "get started in 5 minutes", one file example, and people spend the next 5 years trying to work around the framework's short-sightedness and come up with sane ways of organizing an ever growing application.

I sorely _sorely_ miss opinionated frameworks.
I’m less convinced. Copper is susceptible to its own failure modes. Water moving too fast in a copper pipe can erode the pipe, and “too fast” is quite slow, especially for hot water. If you want hot water quickly, you want the fastest practical speed, which means the smallest practical pipe, and you can easily run into the limitations of copper. PEX and CPVC tolerate considerable higher water velocity. (I think this is because copper’s passive layer can be scoured away, whereas plastic pipes don’t need a passive layer.)

If you have well water or water from anywhere other than a utility that controls the chemistry correctly, the water can dissolve your pipes. The rainwater from my roof makes copper instantly shiny, which is a bad sign for the copper.
Borland doesn't enough credit (or blame, depending on your opinion about C++) for popularizing C++. Turbo C++ was the first mainstream C++ compiler. All that existed before was Cfront, Stroustrup's pre-compiler which translated C++ to C.

C++ wasn't a popular language until Borland released Turbo C++. Because of the IDE wars of the 1990's, Microsoft answered with Visual C++, and the rest is history.

Did JVM reinvent VM? Is it a VM or a container?

No one (not enough people?) asked (cared?) for this about the JVM for like 25 years till Linux Cgroups came around and Docker capitalized on it. Its not VM v/s container question that we care about. (I am aware this is a very poor comparison but so is comparing a vm to a container, which is my point)

K8S brings complexity yes, and in a consistent, predictable way. The biggest difference between a k8s based shop vs a DIY VM/Container shop is the former can (in theory) hire some people with intermediate K8S experience, and have them sort out the mess that the people without that experience (or more typically the ones who don't have clear requirements) may have created. With k8s it becomes more predictable to find the boundaries and start pulling things apart in production and make incremental changes. Without k8s, making changes to a production setup is a nightmare that folks who have done that sort of thing don't ever want to repeat.
