I really like the argument of just keeping the waste on site at the reactors. They're already heavily guarded and everybody is trained to deal with the waste + safety inspections happen regularly.

Just keep the waste on site and then, if a plant is decommissioned, add it to another reactor's pile.

It's not a permanent solution for millions of years, but it's also likely fine for the next 100 years and that's a reasonable tradeoff (imo).
It doesn't have to be batteries, it can be pump storage plant or similar installations. Problem that those don't work aren't technical. There are often legislative in nature or the infrastructure for energy transportation is inadequate.

We don't know how feasibly we can get Uranium. The market is unstable right now because of political problems.

The topic is very complex, there are disadvantages with every form of energy production and nuclear isn't an exception. It is only clean if you reduce the question to CO2.
Counter-proposal: Time for people to investigate moving East.
We could also start mandating the use of reclaimed water in more residential settings. Seems most places if they do it only water some planters and medians. Needs to be code to run reclaimed water to new construction so it’s a least an option in the future. A lot of cleaned water is just dumped right to sea. So wasteful.
They're very well done. Quite light and crisp with a fluffy aerated interior which tastes buttery. They're not cheap and I have felt unable to test their propensity for flight. So I cannot speak to their lift/drag ratio.

After eating two, I am most definitely not aerodynamic.
Sketching forces you to pay attention. It's a very deliberate thing.

> 1: it's wrong even for the guilty

What about an example I gave above: The commandant of Auschwitz? On a purely emotional level, I find the point of view that a pitiless mass-murderer deserves infinitely more mercy than what he granted others morally reprehensible. You get what you give, in my view.
They say you can append new fields in tables (a type of struct).
No mention of enums.
You're getting downvoted because of the tone of your reply, but you do have a point. Mexico isn't known for upholding justice: there's a lot of crime, there's corruption, and the legal system is overburdened. Miscarriage of justice is to be expected.
I might have a solution for this. Can I drop you a note?
Thanks, I did note the difference, it was just this reminded me of the separate issue I'd been wondering about.

You can only invoke the security argument if the software is easy to use and works flawlessly. That may not be true for everyone but I do expect the majority should switch.
It depends on the package. As far as Autotools itself are concerned, yes, users are free to choose whether to do in-tree or out-of-tree builds, but some packages require one or the other.
> water itself is horribly corrosive

Funnily enough, this is technically true, but would only manifest in a warped reality.

In the acidic/caustic scale, regular water is just slightly on the caustic side of neutral. (pH 5.5 or thereabouts?) - It won't strip the pipes it runs in. But that's not the kind of water we're talking about here. That would be pure distilled water.

It's the near-universal cleaning agent. Because of the complete lack of impurities, distilled water has the ability to absorb fair amounts of almost anything it gets in contact with. It also tastes really bad. (The taste of "nothing" for regular water is our calibrated baseline with various minerals and other impurities. If you take all of that out, the perceptual difference between expected and experienced is quite stark.)

For what it's worth, cavitation and turbulence are much more likely culprits to eat the plumbing material. Also: shoddy quality will always cause problems, regardless of your choice of materials.
My walks got a lot better when I started looking up birds and plants. Now green spaces aren't just a nice background, but a rich, immersive world.

Even in the city, it's fun to watch and listen. There's a ton going on, and you rob yourself of that experience when you have something playing over it.
the vast majority of the people are not mentally ill, that will do nothing for this. It could possibly help tent cities and homeless. A lot better scheme would be to end crazy restrictive building and zoning laws and letting the market fix it and stop letting NIMBYs keep prices artificially high
There are two relevant computer security ideas here -- "sandboxing" is used to place risky work (such as Chrome decoding some media) into an isolated process which lacks privileges to e.g. abuse access to files or networking, and "taint tracking" is used to reason about what attacker-supplied input can influence.

The biggest problem I have with TypeScript is to know WHAT .ts files will be compiled into. I.e., if you're using enums or decorators, there's no plain support for them in JS so you'll end up having some kind of "polyfills", which are not so optimized.

Once you analyze your compiled JS, you can write TS knowing what you're gonna get, which is the trick to make it optimized.

My two cents :)
Thank you! I was not aware of ibara’s port of OpenBSD’s m4, so now I can drop my own ugly 15-minute hack. Is there a good source for finding strict POSIX tools rather than just go digging?

Sad sidenote on m4, that even with strict POSIX [1], you still have no clue if `define` will turn into “” or “define” due to a split between AT&T on one hand and GNU and BSD (all of them?) on the other that POSIX did not rule one way or the other. It gets even worse when you realise that some m4 implementations have “constants” like `windows` so that “Stained glass windows” can turn into “Stained glass 0”. But I guess this can be expected when you are dealing with a tool that has evolved in multiple directions since 1977?

Batteries are being used primarily in electric vehicles, for, as you say, good reasons, and for domestic backup. For bulk utility storage, batteries are the most expensive choice, although battery cost is still falling fast and numerous utility-adapted chemistries are competing.

F may be water pressure, as in pumped hydro (which is growing) using elevated or underground reservoirs, or air pressure, as in CAES underground or underwater compressed air, or buoyancy using sea-floor pulleys and floats. No doubt as a soon-to-be Licensed Professional Engineer you will soon be able to think of other persistent forces.

Springs and flywheels will not be used for bulk utility-scale storage.

Generally, utilities will use what is cheap and reliable at the time they build it. Building storage before you have enough spare renewable capacity to charge it would be a bad misallocation of capital

Anhydrous ammonia will not be the cheapest medium, but has advantages of transportability and fantastic usefulness. Any unused overbuilt capacity will be put to work synthesizing for sale.
Pff it's ibm, they don't even give free emulated developer licenses for z/os. It's like they don't care...give no access to mainframe programming an being late to cloud (even with redhat) and only big-bet on quantum computing leaves IBM in such a bad spot it's not even funny anymore.

Dogfooding is an excellent way to demonstrate a product. I wonder how many OSS (and commercial) projects actually do this?
> There are Ukrainians and Ukrainians. There’s no other people that want “other country”.

This is very untrue. East Ukraine is mostly Russian ethnically. Even languages are different in Western and Eastern Ukraine.

Before 2014 some guys who are now in Azov Batallion identified themselves an Russian nationalists.

While many things changed since, there are still many people on the East who identify themselves as Russians.

Think about it - Mariupol was taken by DPR troops and Crimean marines. Basically by people who live on territories Ukraine claims its own. Donetsk is shelled
This slow mo video of a vector graphics arcade machine recently introduced me to this technology - I was a bit too young to actually be there in person, so never realized that this kind of CRT (?) drawing technology even existed.

Death penalty with proper trial is more expensive than life-without-parole sentence, at least in the US currently [1]. I'm not sure if this means that non-death-penalty crimes are not inspected properly. In such system the only reason for the capital punishment is revenge.

So people would just stop eating meat and that's the end of it? Or might it be that you'd then "activate" a sizable chunk of 92%+ of Americans who eat meat to vote for the next candidate who runs on a pro-meat platform. That's a sizable enough influence that the next election would likely look like one big beef industry commercial.

If being vegetarian or vegan is an important value to you then the real way to make real lasting progress is by trying to persuade and convince people, not by trying to force or otherwise coerce them into agreeing with you. The same as on any topic.
The checkbook must balance eventually, or at least grow in a controlled fashion. If you could add arbitrary expenses to the deficit and get +ve value out, a lot of things fall apart.
I depend on my phone as a tool. Alarms, calendar, Google Pay and so on.

Instead I worked really hard to suppress the loud parts. Notification control, ad blocker rules, very few apps, and so on.

I'd say it works well enough.
Have you read https://innocenceproject.org/the-innocent-and-the-death-pena... ? It is hard to square with what you wrote.
It is not a fraud, it is simply how the tax works.

In Italy it is called "cavalli fiscali" same exact meaning of the French translation.

The value depends on the the engine displacement and it's not a unit of measure for power.

The power is indicated in KW, not Hp and has been for a long time now.

So no fraud, same displacement, same tax.

Which also makes sense, it ties the tax to how much volume of fuel can be potentially burnt into the combustion chambers.

EDIT:

Italy being Italy, of course the formula to calculate the value is in a national law approved by the parliament (Art. 9 ter)

Yes, Lyra is the name of a constellation, so there's collision even outside the programming world
> That is precisely what the author said is not the definition of “open source”, he wants the definition to come with more than that, specifically that “open source” needs to come with limitations on what you’re allowed to do with it once acquired; the argument is that it must not be public domain.

Uhm, no? That's the opposite of what the article actually says. Public Domain code is Open Source without any doubt, period. There is however a set of acceptable limitations that you can place on your code and still call it Open Source - mostly related to attribution or keeping derived works under the same terms. If you place other limitations on what others are allowed to do with your code once acquired, it's not Open Source regardless of whether they can see the source code or not. Which makes perfect sense to me - I can easily see the source code of Windows 2000, but that doesn't make it open.
Not difficult, but feels weird. Vhdl looks like programming, but all the rows are executed in parallel all the time. You need to wrap your head around that level of parallelism. But once you do, I'm sure it'll also make you an excellent CUDA / OpenCL GPU programmer.
Ask HN: What metrics stack are you using for side projects
After having worked with a nice metrics stack in my worklife. I feel kind of blind in my side projects.
What are all y'all using for metrics and visualization for your side projects?
I'd prefer a SaaS solution, and I'd love to be able to (easily):
- Publish (time-series) metrics from my code
- Create dashboards visualizing these metrics
- (Optional) setup alerting on these metrics

The stacks I've been able to find are either very tied to Prometheus, or tracing. I would like to emit more metrics semantically more close to the application.
Examples:
- Backlog size
- Concurrent items being processed
- Number of items in a specific state

So what are you running in your projects, where it would be overkill to run your own prometheus/grafana/influx/whatevs stack?
I agree that the bail conditions seem excessive but the US also sets bail conditions, doesn't it? I'm pretty sure I've heard of cases where bail was flat out denied or where no Internet/computer use was imposed as a condition (which is effectively a ban on encrypted apps).
That would be a good start. Personally I am honestly starting to become allergic to proposals of this kind. "We need more {water, electricity, roads, lanes}" all while never mentioning any plans how to use the resources that we already have more efficiently.
The swamp cannot be drained. Get over it.
Quitting job to focus full time on your hustle, what did/does it take for you?
Hey, hustlers!

I thought that all it would take was some determination, some hustle, and a few sacrifices, and then boom—I'd be free.

But as I've learned over the years doing this stuff full time, it's not that simple. There are so many factors that come into play when deciding whether or not to quit your job and focus on your hustle full-time.

If you're in the SaaS world, it can be easy to get comfortable with your existing work/life balance.

But at what point do you start to wonder: "is this really where I want to be?"

This particular article from the UK shares many of my own feelings about automated readability indexes:

I still admire your goal here, I'm simply suggesting to rely on a modicum of actual human feedback over automation where possible.
I'm not sure what else "economic damage" could refer to that isn't some sort of physical cost? If, say, an activist uses social media to incite people to blockade a road, making 10k people an hour late for work, that's up to 10k less hours of stuff done^1. That's a cost, even if it's a "virtual" one. Say x% of those people worked in healthcare, that's x00 hours less healthcare done, and that's people killed in expectation.

^1: or up to 10k people working an hour late, which is a cost in and of itself.
Nukes do not produce output of sufficiently high temperature for cement or steel production.

Hydro-power dams are expensive to build, too, but operating cost is extremely low. New ones will not be competitive with wind & solar, but existing dams will remain useful, where not demolished for ecological or fisheries reasons.

There are no technical impediments to electrolysis. It all just needs to be built out. Efficiency is rising very fast.
Why aren’t they base load?

If every country over provisioned renewables, then you have a transmission problem not a storage problem.

The sun does always shine, the wind does always blow.
Is residential water use really the problem? Relative to agricultural use of water in California, residential water use is a drop in the bucket. Agricultural use of water on its own exceeds the maximum use of water the state can support long run. I can understand the desire to make an impact as an individual, but even dropping residential water use to zero won't do much at all for the problem as it stands. It's a distraction.
Yeah, it’s like you get to the “edit” stage much faster! And, you can get a lot of “obvious” ideas that you might not have considered. Also, the text tends to be looser and less harmony than my typical academic writing.
It just doesn't seem to offer much, for all the grandiose claims. Who is going to pay a premium to have "reimagined" firmware and ROMs? Or yet another proprietary hypervisor? Or a stack that seems to be built around Solaris?

It looks like a vanity or nostalgia project started by old Solaris folk, as far as I've seen.
This isn't what you're asking for, but related: I've found that syndicated news agencies like AP, Reuters, and AFP tend to have more neutral raw news feeds. Probably because they sell to the left and right.
Godot is MIT-licensed so no, they can't arbitrarily revoke your license and force you to stop developing your game.

What they could theoretically do is stop developing it, or change the license for all newer versions of the engine to one that would force you to pay to use it (or similar). In which case Godot would most likely be forked on the same day and a big part of the current developers would just move over to the fork.
Hey there!
I am the current Docusaurus lead maintainer, if you have any question let me know.

You don't need to be Stripe and have a full engineering team working on your doc to make it awesome.

Docusaurus is a content-centric static site generator based on Node.js and React. You can build a documentation site but also a blog, landing pages...

The idea is that you just write Markdown files, and we generate a great docs site for you. You can get started in 5 minutes, focusing on content, and later do more advanced customizations so that your docs are top-notch.

I like to compare Docusaurus to the Pareto principle: you only need 20% of the effort to get 80% of the result. Docusaurus is flexible so you can also decide to invest more and get a better result.

Full-featured: docs, blog, pages, plugins, themes, versioning, i18n, a11y, SEO...

It is based on MDX (Markdown + React), which can help make your docs interactive.

Some comparable tools: VuePress, MkDocs...
I believe we do a better job than others: more features but also great flexibility. In particular you can deeply customize the UI so that your documentation site really respects respects your branding.

Docusaurus 2.0 has already been widely adopted by the community during the beta phase. Some examples
- https://www.figma.com/plugin-docs/
- https://docs.snap.com/
- https://reactnative.dev/
- https://supabase.com/docs
- https://ionic.io/docs
- https://developer.stackblitz.com/
- https://tauri.app/
- https://hasura.io/docs/latest/index/
- https://docs.lacework.com/
- https://wiki.iota.org/
- https://docs.solana.com/

We have also see adoption for internal documentation at Microsoft, LinkedIn, Shopify...
We have a site showcase with almost 300 sites in case you are looking for inspirations.
Looking at the source code, this seems to work by generating dedicated parser code for a yiven definition which will copy values in a certain order through a flat copy.

I'm seeing little specifications or conversions regarding endianness so I'm guessing that's out of scope for this project. It seems almost completely backwards incompatible and I'm not too sure about their security validations. I don't think this and Flatbuffers are competing in the same space, really.

I definitely believe this is fast, it's as close to a memcpy to a network packet as you can get. I'd be wary to use this on external data in any native language without any kind of fuzzing first.

That said, I do like the way the generators work.
Minis were produced from 1959 - 2000. VW Beetles, an older design and much worse to drive, from 1938 - 2003!
Its 2022 man. Dont read anything about corporations from boomers. They are from a time where complexity was within our control. Today it is mostly definitely not. Corporations are machines. Corporate leaders are not producing "team work and trust" anywhere, because the machine has gotten sophisticated enough that it doesn't need it.

The best machines have great metrics. And exponentially higher costs when they fuck up. That manifests in CEO pay cuz that the main role of the CEO today. To be a sacrificial part so that the rest of the machine doesn't blow up when things go side ways. Think of it as a high voltage fuse that takes a hit to prevent the everyone in town from getting fried. Things are so complex, it does not matter what comes out of the head of one 6 inch chimp brain at the top.

Imho the real issue is not about CEO pay. The issue is what should be done when the chimps build machines that they have no control over? Who care what CEO of Jurassic Park gets paid if we know how the story ends.

As I recall, one of the advantages of C over Rust is that the SQLite authors have the tooling to do 100% branch coverage testing of the compiled binaries in C. They tried Rust, but Rust inserts code branches they are unable to test.

The tradeoff then is the small number of bug causing the denial of service bugs listed, vs. not having 100% branch coverage. And they chose the latter.

(The authors also believe Rust isn't portable enough, not handles out-of-memory errors well enough - https://www.sqlite.org/whyc.html#why_isn_t_sqlite_coded_in_a... .)
I know you said protein, but calories are really the metric we want to use here.

TL;DR: 2.1 calories/gallon for almonds, 5.3 c/g for tofu, 1,558 c/g for beef.

Almonds consume 3.2 gallons of water each for just shy of 7 calories. 2.18 calories per gallon.

Cows consume ~3,200 gallons of water from birth to slaughter, where they produce about 6 million calories. 1,875 calories per gallon.

An additional 50 bales of hay to feed it over its lifetime (really hay is half the diet but its late and I'm just doubling it). Approximately 1,300 gallons per acre, which produces 100 bales - 13 gallons per bale - 650 gallons to grow the food. That is still 1,558 calories per gallon of water.

I found a recipe online that used about a gallon of water (rinsing and as an ingredient) for 1 pound of tofu. 10,000 gallons to produce one bushel (or 60 pounds) of soybeans. 166 gallons per pound. A pound is 2.6 cups, recipe wants 1 cup. 63 gallons per cup. 64 gallons made into tofu. 344 calories per pound of tofu. 5.3 calories per gallon of water consumed.
Beyond what you already said, "faster" can be contextual in the sense that a more terse encoding results in faster transfer over networks or busses, though it's often at a cost in encode/decode speed.
Links or your argument is just noise. Here is the closest I could find to what you are talking about, explicitly saying an appeals court ruled against a nuclear operator trying to get the refund you are talking about:

"""
NextEra is still not entitled to a refund because federal law requires the DoE, not NextEra, to actually dispose of the spent nuclear fuel.
"""
Canada does have a constitution, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Act,_1982 so I don't understand what you are talking about.
