The figures I have for France (from Jean-Marc Jancovici) are that for the entire history of French nuclear energy, the total volume of long term, high-intensity nuclear waste is that of a single gymnasium.

And we went pretty heavy on Nuclear. Overall, I wouldn't say the problem is insignificant. But it is certainly a small problem, compared to building, maintaining, and renewing all the nuke plants themselves.
Italy similarly had, and possibly still keeps around for backwards compatibility, the same sort of large "cavalli fiscali", used exclusively as a measure of tax brackets, not of actual power.
It depends on countries, and within countries it depends on the location.

In Italy 28 m2 (roughly 300 sqft) is the minimum size you can legally call it a living unit, "tiny" is usually roughly 30-60 m2, "medium" is 60-100, 100 m2 and over is considered "large".

This is for cities and towns, in the country 60 m2 would probably be considered "tiny".

I do exactly this. I got a cheap feature phone (Nokia, ~50€) with a MultiSIM that my cellprovider offers. Both phones ring at the same time when I get a call, and I can take it on either. I only have close contacts on my feature phone, it can play music, and I can make calls. Plus, the battery lasts 3weeks in standby, more when you only turn it on when you need it of course.

Focus time is now only a matter of taking the right phone with me when I leave the house, or turning the smartphone off for a while. But there are some drawbacks, i.e. I would love for the feature phone to have a better camera.
Maybe, but you're talking about "a generation, or more" kind of lead time. For a good start you have roughly no pilots able to safely fly your computer-free planes and no instructors either. So once you've managed to design the controls, you need to bootstrap your education pipeline on using them.

The trick there is to not use enums or decorators! In all seriousness, I believe it’s common for typescript codebases to eschew these features, precisely because it’s hard to reason about the generated code (and preferable to avoid features that aren’t on an ECMAScript standards track.
My experience aligns well with your. For any moderately complex project makefiles are inadequate and trying to make them work is a frustrating experience even in GNU make is pretty capable.

Ninja is a fine tool but it requires an higher level language to generate it's build files.

Cmake is just horrible, I just cannot stand it. I choose Meson instead and I am quite happy with it. Meson developers focus a lot on doing the right design decisions. They keep the language very simple and offer mostly one logical way to do a thing and Meson ensure it works right in every circumstance. Yet it offers advanced options when they are required but they are always well thought out.

If you compare meson to make at first you may think make is more flexible but ultimately it leaves to you many problems it doesn't solve and it turns out to be inadequate.

With make, declare automatically dependencies from header files? You are alone, that's your problem. There are some tricks using GCC but they looks like hacks.
Maintain projects build logic across subfolders? That's your problem. Make only provide a very rough, inadequate mechanism.

Want to do parallel build by respecting dependencies across folder? Sorry, that's your problem but it may work using some tricks.

Want to build out of tree? Hmmm not supported in a standard idiomatic way. You need to use tricks.

How you create a static library in a cross-platform way? That's your problem. The same for shared libraries.

Personally I think that make is an obsolete tool whose design is inadequate very much like CVS that was replaced by git.

To me the only downside of Meson is that it requires python but I can accommodate with that.
So the EULA says that they can ask.
Since Godot is MIT-licensed (which only requires a copyright notice and a note that says 'this is using code from a thing under the MIT license') changing the license would be trivial.

Essentially they could release "Godot current+1" under a fully proprietary (or GPL for that matter) license and keep the notice that's required by "Godot current" and they would be compliant, since "Godot current+1" would be a derived work from "Godot current".

The requirement to get consent from all previous contributors only applies if they would want to remove that copyright notice. For sofware that is under more restrictive licenses, like GPL, further restrictions apply and then it would be necessary to get an ok from all copyright holders to change the license to something that is incompatible with the GPL (or between incompatible GPL-versions, like GPLv2->GPLv3).

edit: While it would be ok to do this change from a licensing perspective it would of course most likely piss off quite a lot of the current contributors who didn't agree with the change, and they would most likely move to the aforementioned fork that would get started immediately.

Stack Overflow CTO: From bootstrapped to scaling one of the Web's biggest
I used the WP Import feature when I switched from WP to Publii for my personal blog. It worked fine: https://www.callmefred.com/.

I live in a single family house in the UK with a decent plot of land, the roads are quiet enough (even in the busy few days around harvest) to not worry about traffic at all when walking or riding a bike.
Well, I am preparing for IELTS and last weekend I was looking for an API to build a dictionary web app with a great UX, UI and accessibility. Thanks. I'll definitely try this one.
I observed a similar "defense" mechanism on myself. I struggled with the thought of not having a phones and rationalizing why I can't do this, which is also a common defense mechanism for addictions. The truth is, the rationalization is often completely made up. I.e. in your case, you can get an alarm clock (or a cheap wristwatch with alarm), a paper calendar/planner (or simply a tiny notebook to write down stuff) and your old-fashioned credit card.

Now, I totally accept that the phone does provide some value and comfort when dealing with those things, and not having one makes life a teeny-bit less comfortable. But you have to think, is my attention and the ability to have deep, focused thoughts more worth than saving some seconds to minutes of a day when taking down notes or setting an alarm clock. Because thats usually what it boils down to, the phone saves you only seconds to minutes a day for usefull work, but you waste hours on doom-scrolling and having your attention taken away throughout the day.
To repeat what I just told you: It eventually gets rid if you no matter what you do. (And no matter which subset of your genes you have incoherently decided to personally identify with.) And then none of it matters.
Great to see Publii featured on HN.
A few years ago, I switched from WP to Publii for my personal blog.
Here's a post I wrote about the experience: https://www.callmefred.com/i-switched-from-wordpress-to-a-st...
It’s not really an absolute right in America either. Specifically this seems pretty similar to the restrictions put on prisoner’s communications in the US.
I originally had written premiers and PM's offices, not sure why I edited it. It wasn't a statement about federalism but about where power was located within each level of government.

Obviously the judiciary is much less powerful here than the US, but my point was how power has been stripped away from party members, legislatures, the civil service, and most of the political executive. Even senior ministers have effectively no political power whatsoever, they're just sent out with their lines to read. All the power is concentrated within the PMO (or Number 10 in UK parlance), which nowadays solely dictates party strategy and policy.

As for the WA border closure, if you read the judgement it did not say that the constitution only applies to the trade of goods. In Australia constitutional rights can simply be overridden by necessity. You saw the same with the implied right to political communication which has been routinely ignored, as in the Bolt case. If you want to read up on this, look up the doctrine of structured proportionality especially as it's been applied since McCloy. Basically governments can flagrantly breach the constitution and then it's up to the courts to decide whether the transgression was justified based off their own value-judgements. The court was satisfied there was a public health justification for the closure, so s92 goes into the bin.

Realistically until Kiefel and Keane retire, Australians don't have any genuine constitutional rights because they'll just extend the doctrine of structured proportionality to whatever constitutional right is in question. "Non-absolute" rights are simply not rights in any sense of the word.
Free AI bot that generates the Excel formula for any problem
For me as a non-native speaker who had this problem too, reading on Kindle helped learn the language immensely. You can long-press any word and it will show results from a high-quality dictionary (there are few to choose from, including the Oxford dictionary) — offline, and without putting the book away, which would be a deal breaker for me. It will also remember all the words you look up so that you can practice later.
Are you living in Australia? Just curious to understand where is this belief coming from.
Two counter-points (appreciate some counter-counter-points :):

1) The discrete sequencing is an epiphenomenon. The underlying processes are continuous changes in voltage and current flows. (I'm not sure if Planck scale considerations can throw a wrench in this though. Would love to be educated here.)

2) Our brains do not have ostensibly discrete neural processors. I don't think gradient descent is comparable to how the brain learns, but I think there is some reason to think that it is possible to learn symbolic processes in spite of having a processor that isn't especially built for it.

Ah, that. Wayland by itself doesn't prevent nothing from keylogging, you can only be sure that (in GNOME or KDE cinematic universe) keylogging by listening on X-things or the socket can be achieved only tampering with LD_PRELOAD or the kernel and not by design (unless one or some apps would redo that Xorg POF).

When Wayland was born you couldn't do anything to prevent that, now we have like 6 sandboxing/light-virtualization options for Linux, so I suspect that by containerizing applications in Xorg you could prevent them from keylogging easily. That too right now is mostly crappy and fragmented in Linux with the AppImage Snap and flatpak circus.
Yep, but just as a comparison, VAT in the EU is in some countries over 20% (Italy 22%, Sweden 25%) on most goods.

In Italy there used to be a "luxury item" VAT that raised VAT from the "normal" 18% to 38%.

I believe Australia still has LCT (in addition to GST):

Here is the dictionary definition of proven:

I think we're simply lost in translation, I'm no native speaker and sometimes I don't make myself clear.

AFAIK (not worked on a game in years) double buffering, when I first heard about it, was used to overcome a limitation of the HW, we had graphic/video cards (when I started programming EGA was the standard), GPU did not exist, the amount of memory was limited, data transfers were slow, double buffering meant having two in memory buffers, the active one and the next one, being built in the background, that were alternatively sent to the graphic card.

Then VGA added page flipping, you could write two buffers in the graphic card memory and instruct the card to swap the active page by flipping a bit in a register during vsync and then write the next frame in the inactive page.

From then on things have improved exponentially, to the point that now GPUs can buffer multiple high res frames, so while frame N is being displayed, the CPU can elaborate frame N+1 or N+2 or even N+3 on some GPU. The framework configures the GPU to automatically swap frames (usually in a FIFO queue) on vsync.

I think in Vulkan this workflow is called swapchain.

HW implemented what was possible only in SW, double buffering is still in use of course, habits die hard, but the issue it solved is not remotely as bad as it used to be.

VDom followed the same path, it was invented to overcome a browser's limitation: DOM access was painfully slow, especially on legacy browsers like IE.

Now they are fast enough that VDom, even though technically still largely in use, is not an hard requirement to make fast DOM updates like it was 10 years ago.

It stayed there in many frameworks, IMO, because you'll never know what HW/SW combination your users are running, backward compatibility, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

You're arguing for him.
Those places do not go anywhere close to full renewable.
Germany being one of your best examples has put out vaaastly more CO2 than let's say France. This because it needs variable output to cover the variable output of it's renewables and as their share of the pie grows so do the costs of providing either storage or variable output.

The strategy of our Greens in Belgium too was to build gas plants to cover for when the nuclear reactors were shut down like they always wanted.
You may have noticed tho that gas has seen some changes in price and circumstances and a lot of people have started wondering why Greens are so eager to increase CO2 output.
Only dead fish go with the flow.
That's a solved problem today. China has a 12 GW 3,300 km (2,100 mi) HVDC line in use for a couple of years now.

The loss is 2-3% per 1,000 km depending on the voltage of the system.

> Cars could work without them but would be much less efficient and bad for the environnement.

Not as much as you think. Modern cars aren't a whole lot more efficient than and are just about as clean as they were 30 years ago. Most of the electronics in modern cars is for relatively useless stuff like lane keeping assist and that thing that makes the indicators blink in a cool pattern.

You can have cars just as clean as modern ones with 1980s-level microcontrollers in the ECUs. You don't even really need catalytic converters, either, because the closed-loop fuelling systems that use a lambda sensor to measure how complete combustion is.

We could rid cities of pollution right now, completely, by converting all the internal combustion engine vehicles to run on propane instead of petrol or diesel. This doesn't make finance companies or car companies any money, so it won't happen.
The number of bikes on my route from the hotel to work yesterday and today in Munich vastly outnumbered the cars. The main roads have good off-road cycle (and now scooter) paths with priority over side roads and decent signalled crossings.

Germany is the home of the automobile, Munich is the HQ of BMW.

Probably still about 4 times as much space for cars as there is for bikes though
Nothing gives me that old computer feeling (that first time chatting to a stranger, first time online, modem sounds) more than looking at WinAmp and XMMS. Hard to understand perhaps but there was a sense of magic at first when you were chatting with someone, in a chat room, you played music and were writing a document. Idk, to me it felt very special at the time.
This is somewhat my point. It should not be that hard to have some checks on the water use of the industry. E.g. you could create laws for certain especially water-hungry industries, you could ban certain water intensive agriculture alltogether (e.g. avocados) etc.

Some of those measures could be permanent (given the fact that it is going to get worse) others could be limited to especially dry years/seasons.

Regulating water use in a friggin' desert is common sense. How much worth is a culture when it cannot even reach that low bar of rationality?
I am not sure why I am being downvoted, when a quick look at figures [1] show Germany indeed performs abysmally considering the amount of installed wind/solar capacity.

As I speak, only 10% of combined wind and solar power are generating electricity in Germany, with coal having to back up, running at half its capacity. Germany electricity production carbon intensity is approx. 400 g of CO2 eq. per kWh. Nuke-heavy France is at 100 g.

Nuke and/or hydro-heavy countries are generally under 80; Germany is consistently above 200 g at all time in the year.

I agree that some apps are feature-complete enough to be both useful and left without updates for years, but sadly they will eventually bitrot after some time and be increasingly annoying to use.
